This is a major history of the Indian Ocean structured through twenty human enterprises/interactions that have taken place in this diverse environment – from the discovery of fossils hinting to older ages to diving for pearls, the trade of spices, the effects of pollution, the passage of enslaved people, the charting of maps and much more.

As remarkable as Columbus and the conquistador expeditions, the history of Portuguese exploration is now almost forgotten.

During the Cold War, the most decisive battles were often the ones no one ever saw. While missiles stood on alert and submarines prowled the oceans, a quieter war unfolded beneath the surface, fought with patience, engineering brilliance, and extraordinary nerve.

In the last few years, it has become abundantly clear that the effects of accelerating climate change will be catastrophic, from rising seas to more violent storms to desertification.

In Oceans Rise, Empires Fall, Gerard Toal identifies geopolitics as the culprit.

The ocean sustains life on our planet, from absorbing carbon to regulating temperatures. But as we exhaust the resources on land, its reserves are increasingly dredged and extracted to fuel new industry. Today we are facing two urgent challenges at sea: massive environmental destruction, and spiraling inequality in the ocean economy. Chris Armstrong reveals how existing governing institutions are failing to respond to the most pressing problems of our time. 

From a brilliant Brookings Institution expert, an “important” (The Wall Street Journal) and “penetrating historical and political study” (Nature) of the critical role that oceans play in the daily struggle for global power, in the bestselling tradition of Robert Kaplan’s The Revenge of...

On the world maps common in America, the Western Hemisphere lies front and center, while the Indian Ocean region all but disappears. This convention reveals the geopolitical focus of the now-departed 20th century, but in the 21st century, that focus will fundamentally change. In this pivotal examination of the countries known as “Monsoon Asia”—which include India, Pakistan, China, Indonesia, Burma, Oman, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Tanzania—best-selling author Robert D. Kaplan explains how crucial this dynamic area has become to American power.

The High Seas Treaty was signed in New York on 20 September, 2023, to cover and protect high seas and seabed areas beyond national jurisdiction which contain biodiverse marine resources providing invaluable ecological, economic, social, cultural, scientific and food security benefits to humanity.

To better address these challenges, and in view of future increasing demands for marine resources (for food, medication, energy, for example), it appeared necessary to establish a...

Baruah shows how governments from Washington, DC, to Nairobi and Canberra are expanding their interests in the region.
