Abstract
The Bay of Bengal region is now growing in economic and strategic
importance. The good economic prospects of many Bay of Bengal states
are making the region a cockpit for Asian growth and a key economic
connector between East and South Asia. This article looks at strategic
developments in the Bay of Bengal and their implications for our
understanding of the Indo-Pacific. It argues that the Bay of Bengal needs
to be understood as a region with its own particular strategic dynamics
and issues. The area is fast becoming a key zone of strategic competition
in Asia and is of vital strategic importance to India.
