“…A collaborative working group was created as a result, with four subgroups that each had a lead nation: Sri Lanka for intelligence sharing, Thailand for financing terrorism, India for legal and law enforcement matters, and Sri Lanka for stopping the trafficking of drugs and psychoactive chemicals (Myanmar). The BIMSTEC Convention on Cooperation in Countering International Terrorism and Transnational Organized Crime was signed in 2009 [12]. The convention, which has 15 articles, can be viewed as a confidence-building measure.…”

Human trafficking has raised significant political and public concerns in the contemporary time period. Individuals are often illegally trafficked throughout India for various purposes, such as forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. India is an infamous destination for trafficked women from Bangladesh, primarily for commercial sexual exploitation. In West Bengal, the challenge of human trafficking poses a serious concern to the residents. Often in the news and official reports, it is observed that two districts of West Bengal, namely North Bengal and South 24 Parganas, are considered the main haven for perpetrators to traffic humans from one place to the other. The porous border that West Bengal shares with Bangladesh has aggravated the situation since the perpetrators can escape the scope of security while engaging in human trafficking. In order to understand the presence of human trafficking in contemporary times, an action that has been termed illegal for over a century now, this research will analyze and discuss why trafficking of humans still continues to persist through the lens of feminist philosophy. This research article seeks to analyze the theoretical framework advocated by the neo-abolitionists who condemn all forms of prostitution as they believe it is oppression against women and tries to understand the presence of human trafficking as a consequence of gender oppression.

This study aims to investigate how String of Pearls is referred to as a geopolitical strategy adopted by China and a threat to India as India is a growing regional power? China has invested a lot in building its military bases network in the countries of sea lines that are falling on the Indian Ocean. China has also developed commercial facilities and its military bases, which refer to as String of Pearls. This study will find the interest of China in expanding its engagements in the region of the Indian Ocean. China is investing heavily in the construction of ports, roads, military, and commercial bases along with so many huge products in the countries providing China bases to increase its chain of String of Pearls. The study will identify how these investments made by China are paying off back to China. This research paper will cover Chinese investment in Pakistan, Myanmar, Djibouti, Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Myanmar, Massawa port Eritrea, Iran, Lamu port Kenya, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc.

“…Cordner (2010, p. 69) highlights the importance of the Indian Ocean for the energy security of many major economies as more than half the world’s oil passes through the region, and Alden (2009) considers the governance implications of China’s growing interests in Africa’s natural resources. A large amount of research in this area is focused on the growing strategic and economic rivalry between India, the largest Indian Ocean littoral state and China (Bastos, 2014; Brewster, 2014; Chaudhury & Basu, 2016), though Mohan (2017) and Mendis (2012) have also considered the strategic importance of the Indian Ocean for Europe and the United States, respectively.…”

This article examines increasing regional economic integration in the Indian Ocean, along with the region's rising importance in the global economy and outlines the challenges to greater regional integration. It finds that the strategically located Indian Ocean economy has become an increasingly important part of the global economy in the past two decades and has become more integrated within itself. Forecasts suggest that the Indian Ocean economy will likely account for around a fifth of global GDP by 2025 and its GDP per capita is expected to almost double. However, realising this outlook will depend on tackling several pressing challenges to regional integration, including improving port quality and logistics, lowering barriers to trade and investment, narrowing development gaps, and strengthening the regional economic governance. Tackling these challenges requires a combination of coherent national and regional policy measures.
