Summary of Rory Medcalf's Indo-Pacific Empire

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 India and Japan, despite being different in many ways, had similar leadership styles and were driven and charismatic nationalists with a democratic mandate to rouse their sometimes slow-moving countries.

#2 The Indo-Pacific is an idea that has taken hold in governments from Washington to Jakarta, Delhi to Tokyo, Canberra to Paris, and Hanoi. It is not a familiar term in current affairs, but it is significant.

#3 The term Indo-Pacific is not just a wordplay, but a real reflection of how many nations are approaching security, economics, and diplomacy. The term recognizes that both economic ties and strategic competition now encompass an expansive two-ocean region.

#4 The label Indo-Pacific may seem strange at first, but it actually makes a lot of sense. It sounds like too much yet not enough, two adjectives without a noun, the sea without the land, Asia without its continent.
