Description
China and India are emerging as major maritime powers as part of long-term shifts in the regional balance of power. As their wealth, interests, and power grow, the two countries are increasingly bumping up against each other across the Indo-Pacific. China’s growing naval presence in the Indian Ocean is seen by many as challenging India’s aspirations towards regional leadership and major power status. How India and China get along in this shared maritime space—cooperation, coexistence, competition, or confrontation—will be one of the key strategic challenges for the entire region.
India and China at Sea is an essential resource in understanding how the two countries will interact as major maritime powers in the coming decades. The essays in the volume, by noted strategic analysts from across the world, seek to better understand Indian and Chinese perspectives about their roles in the Indian Ocean and their evolving naval strategies towards each other.

Review
‘David Brewster hits the mark, yet again, with this topical anthology, offering incisive insights into ongoing strategic developments in the Indian Ocean; where “delusional” superpower, China faces off against “apprehensive” neighbour, India.
An eclectic selection of analysts present the reader with fascinating nuances of the maritime “Great Game” in progress; and leave him wondering if it will all end in tame capitulation (to an emerging hegemon) or dramatic dénouement (on the high seas)?’
—Admiral Arun Prakash, former Chief of Naval Staff, Indian Navy
‘I have long argued that the China–India maritime rivalry will be a defining feature of geopolitics in the twenty-first century. As China’s navy goes south to the Indian Ocean, India’s navy is going east to the Pacific. This very timely volume on “India and China at Sea”, with thought-provoking papers from several distinguished scholars and analysts from Australia, China, India, and the United States, makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the maritime ambitions and strategies of Asia’s rising powers and the complex maritime security challenges facing all sea-faring nations—big and small. A must read for practitioners, policymakers, media persons, academics, and students of international affairs.’
