Summary
The seas of the Indo-Pacific – the Indian Ocean and its approaches, the western Pacific Ocean and the waters connecting the two – are at the centre of the global trading economy.

Critics Review
The oceans underpin global prosperity—and they are increasingly insecure. This book explains why with uncommon clarity and depth. It captures not only the scale of maritime threats but their defining quality: the blurring of boundaries between crime, conflict, and governance failure that makes security at sea so difficult to achieve. What sets this volume apart is its honest engagement with the ambiguity that defines maritime threats—the grey zones, the jurisdictional gaps, the actors who exploit the vastness of the sea. A vital read. – Christian Bueger, University of Copenhagen
This compact and eminently readable book explores the shadowland between naval warfare and maritime enforcement, showing how state and substate actors exploit ambiguities in the law of the sea. Hastings’ book should be required reading for navies and coast guards active in the Indo-Pacific. – James R. Holmes, US Naval War College
