Abstract: This seminar explores how undersea infrastructure, naval strategy, and transformative technologies are reshaping Indo-Pacific security amid intensifying great power rivalry. Presentations offer novel research on when, where, and how critical seabed assets may be targeted during periods of tension, the strategic use of joint naval exercises, and the foreign policies of Japan and like-minded states. Additional topics include China and the maritime Global South, as well as India's maritime security strategy through the lens of "Securitizing" Growth and "Growing" Security. Join us for timely insights into the evolving contest over the seabed, and how polarity in the international system and competing visions of regional orders are redefining security on the high seas.Securing the Seabed, Shaping the Seas.jpg150KB
