Author(s) Shafiq-ur-Rehman Khattak

Abstract This study is explicitly aimed at exploring the Indian Ocean vis-à-vis the changing geo politics of the region and their repercussion over Pakistan while expounding the intriguing interest of major powers in the region. The geopolitics of Indian Ocean apparently seems to be complex and is mostly being illustrated by resource conflict and by the struggle for influence. External powers, the bolstering economies of Asia and non-traditional threats like terrorism and extremism are shaping the orientation of geopolitics. Additionally, I have investigated the role of major powers in spawning the acuity of securitization while retaining Regional Security Complex theory by Buzan and waver. The discussion tries to assess the basic principles of the theory of Regional Security Complex by using the Change of geo-politics in Indian Ocean Regions which has become of new arena for the exertion of global politics since the past two decades. This study also encompasses the elaboration of sub complexes within the super complex Indian Ocean region while seeking the diverging and converging interest of major powers along the trajectory of Indian Ocean. Also, this study sought to explicate the implication for Pakistan vis-à-vis Indian growing presence and arms buildup in the region.
