About Us
What is Indian Ocean Watch?
Indian Ocean Watch (IOW) is a digital platform offering in-depth analysis and strategic foresight on the geopolitics, security, and strategic affairs of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). We combine rigorous research with compelling storytelling to illuminate the complex dynamics of this vital global commons. IOW is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the Indian Ocean’s future.
Why This Project?
The Indian Ocean is rapidly becoming a central theater for global competition, cooperation, and potential conflict. Despite its undeniable strategic importance, a comprehensive, accessible, and independent platform focused solely on the IOR has been largely missing. Indian Ocean Watch fills this critical gap. We believe an informed global community is essential for navigating the complexities and harnessing the opportunities within this crucial region.
