Indian Ocean Islands Illustrated Cases on Geopolitics Ocean and Environment

Indian Ocean Islands Illustrated Cases on Geopolitics Ocean and Environment

Islands are intrinsic parts of the Indian Ocean Region’s physical geography and human landscape. Historically many have played substantial roles in the regional cultural and economic networks as well as in the regional political developments. Today at least three issues bring these islands back to the forefront of the regional and global affairs namely geopolitics and strategic matters environmental conditions and challenges as well as ocean affairs. However there has not been yet a lot of research and publications on this phenomenon of islands’ growing significance in the specific context of the Indian Ocean Region. This book provides a rare attempt to cover various issues related to geopolitics international relations history security anthropology and ocean/environment of Indian Ocean islands and their societies. More specifically it provides case studies on Sri Lanka (foreign policy) Cocos and Christmas Islands (geo-strategy) Chagos Archipelago (history) Mauritius (‘Indo-Mauritians’) Mauritius and Seychelles (maritime security) European Union and the Indian Ocean Islands (international relations) and Sundarban islands (environment and society). The chapters were originally published in a special issue of the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region. | Indian Ocean Islands Illustrated Cases on Geopolitics Ocean and Environment

Indian Ocean Regionalism

Indian Ocean Regionalism

Pan-regional constructions in the Indian Ocean are of relatively recent origin are contested and remain relatively weak at present. Sub-regional constructions on the other hand have tended to be more focussed especially in terms of security and have generally been more successful. The principal purpose of this volume is to critically evaluate the debates surrounding these issues and to elucidate some of the main strengths and weaknesses of regionalism at both scales. The discussion begins at the pan-regional scale with an evaluation of pan-regional contestation followed up by a chapter on the main pan-regional grouping – Indian Ocean Region-Association for Regional Cooperation (IOR-ARC) – which was renamed Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) in 2013. Thereafter key examples of sub-regional groupings – South Asia ASEAN SADC and GCC – are critically discussed in turn. The principal readership for this volume will be: scholars of geography politics and international relations; students of Indian Ocean studies; regionalism experts; bureaucrats and politicians both within and outside the Indian Ocean Region who wish to gain insights into Indian Ocean matters; scholars who appreciate a view of regional relations ‘from the inside’. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region. | Indian Ocean Regionalism

Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

During the recent decades social political and academic endeavours have been made to improve environmental quality and reduce pollution. In particular the ocean sea and coastal areas show varying degrees of impact from the multiple human activities carried out in the terrestrial as well as in the aquatic environment. Ecology is a science which studies the relationship between organisms and the surrounding environment and in the modern era the marine world is getting increasing attention. For centuries it has been the final reservoir of human garbage; later it became an oil farm with a concomitant increase of coastal population growth and unplanned growth of the fishing industry and the increasing use of sea routes for cargo transport and recreational uses (cruises). All this led to rising contamination with negative effects on biota and even human health. It is then imperative to know the current situation of the world's oceans: that is the main purpose of this book to document at a glance the latest research in the field of ocean pollution. | Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

Environmental Citizenship in the Indian Ocean Region

Environmental Citizenship in the Indian Ocean Region

The scale and severity of our environmental challenges are quickly becoming apparent. The Indian Ocean region features many places particularly vulnerable to the effects of environmental degradation and climate change which will have profound social economic and cultural impacts. The increasing preoccupation with the state of the environment is also having significant political effects including on the concept and content of citizenship. The language of citizenship has permeated environmental discourse and conversely environmental issues are often articulated in the language of citizenship. This book explores environmental citizenship and civil society responses to environmental challenges in the Indian Ocean region. The articles provide practical insights to improve resilience and adaptation as well as conceptual insights into the nature of environmental citizenship discourse and practice across this vast region from Mauritius to Malaysia. The volume showcases the complex field of environmental citizenship through a wide range of approaches and alongside closely related concepts such as environmental governance environmental education environmental justice and corporate social responsibility. In essence the book provides a rich diverse and multidimensional picture of environmental citizenship in the Indian Ocean region. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region.

Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

Ocean as Method presents a new way of thinking about the humanities and the social sciences. It explores maritime connections in social and humanistic research and puts forward an alternative to national histories and area studies. As global warming and rising sea levels ring alarm bells across the world the chapters in the volume argue that it is time to think through oceans to realign discourses which better understand our future. The volume: • Engages with the paradigms of oceanic narratives to identify connections between continents through trade migration and economic processes thinking beyond the artificial distinctions between the Pacific Atlantic and Indian Oceans; • Discusses oceanic travel accounts by Muslim travellers to counter the idea that the colonial era was marked by European travel to Asia and Africa without a counterflow of “native travel”; •Examines the connections between South Africa South Asia and South East Asia through histories of Indian indenture and the slave trade and engages with the idea of the ocean and enforced movement; •Compares and connects recent scholarship in the social sciences and the humanities centring the ocean to break away from inherited paradigms which have shaped world history so far. As a unique transdisciplinary collaboration this volume will be of much interest to scholars and researchers of history especially oceanic history historiography critical theory literature geography and Global South studies. | Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity Political Cultural and Economic Impacts

The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity Political Cultural and Economic Impacts

The period from the death of Alexander the Great to the rise of the Islam (c. late fourth century BCE to seventh century CE) saw a significant growth in economic diplomatic and cultural exchange between various civilisations in Africa Europe and Asia. This was in large part thanks to the Indian Ocean trade. Peoples living in the Roman Empire Parthia India and South East Asia increasingly had access to exotic foreign products while the lands from which they derived and the peoples inhabiting these lands also captured the imagination finding expression in a number of literary and poetic works. The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity provides a range of chapters that explore the economic political and cultural impact of this trade on these diverse societies written by international experts working in the fields of Classics Archaeology South Asian studies Near Eastern studies and Art History. The three major themes of the book are the development of this trade how consumption and exchange impacted on societal developments and how the Indian Ocean trade influenced the literary creations of Graeco-Roman and Indian authors. This volume will be of interest not only to academics and students of antiquity but also to scholars working on later periods of Indian Ocean history who will find this work a valuable resource. | The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity Political Cultural and Economic Impacts

The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

This book examines knowledge traditions that held together the fluid and overlapping maritime worlds of the Indian Ocean in the premodern period as evident in the material and archaeological record. It breaks new ground by shifting the focus from studying cross-pollination of ideas from textual sources to identifying this exchange of ideas in archaeological and historical documentation. The themes covered in the book include conceptualization of the seas and maritime landscapes in Sanskrit Arabic and Chinese narratives; materiality of knowledge production as indicated in the archaeological record of communities where writing on stone first appears; and anchoring the coasts not only through an understanding of littoral shrines and ritual landscapes but also by an analysis of religious imagery on coins more so at the time of the introduction of new religions such as Islam in the Indian Ocean around the eighth century. This volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of archaeology anthropology museum and heritage studies Indian Ocean studies maritime studies South and Southeast Asian studies religious studies and cultural studies. | The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe

Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe

This book argues for the utility of human rights in the practice of ocean governance. Maritime spatial planning (MSP) has become the dominant marine management paradigm with MSP frameworks already at various stages of elaboration and implementation in more than half of all coastal states. However as experience with MSP accrues a central systemic shortcoming has become apparent insofar as the normative frameworks that underpin MSP tend to be grounded in a rationalistic and economistic worldview. The result is a post-political neoliberal approach to the implementation of MSP which favours technocratic ‘fixes’ to complex societal problems over efforts to address underlying issues of power and inequality. Building upon the new field of critical MSP studies this book offers a much-neglected legal contribution. More specifically it analyses the extent to which law and particularly human rights law can be utilised to meaningfully challenge the unjust patterns of human-ocean interaction that MSP preserves or creates and so provide a vehicle for the formulation and realisation of transformative blue futures. The book looks to human rights as norms that are uniquely capable of bringing into relief the values cause-and-effect relationships and uncertainties that prevailing capitalist-industrial framings of the ocean tend to downplay or worse disregard. And so from a more pragmatic viewpoint the book argues that the policy and advocacy tools associated with human rights can be used within MSP processes to foster patterns of human-ocean interaction which are more conducive to social and environmental justice. This book will be of interest to legal and planning scholars geographers and others concerned with ocean governance and the ‘blue turn’ in the social sciences and humanities more generally. | Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Suppose you were designing a marine mammal. What would they need to live in the ocean? How would you keep them warm? What design features would allow them to dive for very long periods to extreme depths? Do they need water to drink? How would they minimize the cost of swimming and how would they find their prey in the deep and dark? These questions and more are examined in detail throughout Marine Mammal Physiology which explores how marine mammals live in the sea from a physiological point of view. This undergraduate textbook considers the essential aspects of what makes a marine mammal different from terrestrial mammals beyond just their environment. It focuses on the physiological and biochemical traits that have allowed this group of mammals to effectively exploit the marine environment that is so hostile to humans. The content of this book is organised around common student questions taking the undergraduate's point of view as the starting point. Each chapter provides a set of PowerPoint slides for instructors to use in teaching and students to use as study guides. New Study Questions and Critical Thinking Points conclude each chapter which are each motivated by a Driving Question such as How do mammals stay warm in a cold ocean? or How do mammals survive the crushing pressures of the deep sea? Full-colour images and comprehensive accessible content make this the definitive textbook for marine mammal physiology. | Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

An Analysis of W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne's Blue Ocean Strategy How to Create Uncontested Market Space

An Analysis of W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne's Blue Ocean Strategy How to Create Uncontested Market Space

In Blue Ocean Strategy W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne tackle the central problem facing all businesses: how to perform better than your competitors? Their solution involves taking a creative approach to the normal view of competition. In the normal framework competition is a zero-sum game: if there are two companies competing for the same market as one does better the other has to do worse. The authors’ creative leap is to suggest one can beat the competition by not competing. Companies should avoid confronting competitors in crowded marketplaces what they call “red oceans ” and instead seek out new markets or “blue oceans. ” Once the blue oceans have been identified companies can get down to the task of creating unique products which exploit that market. Chan and Mauborgne argue for example that a wine company might decide to start appealing to a group previously uninterested in wine. This would be a “blue ocean” market giving the winemaker a huge advantage which they could exploit by creating a wine that appealed to the tastes of a beer-drinking demographic. A classic of business writing Blue Ocean Strategy is creative thinking and problem solving at its best. | An Analysis of W.

The Colonial Periodical Press in the Indian and Pacific Ocean Regions

The Colonial Periodical Press in the Indian and Pacific Ocean Regions

This book clarifies the crucial role of periodical press in the advance of colonial print cultures and public debates in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The Colonial Periodical Press in the Indian and Pacific Ocean Regions is a venture of the International Group for Studies of Colonial Periodical Press of the Portuguese Empire (IGSCP-PE) which also invests in comparative studies and conceptual discussions. Moving around urban shores of the Indian and Pacific Oceans it approaches the crucial role of periodical press in the development of colonial print cultures and public debates in these regions. By being mostly focused on press from spaces and peoples under the domain of the Portuguese Empire it addresses a bibliographical gap in international discussions moved by the field. The outcome reflects an investment in offering decentred and de-nationalized approaches to the colonial print cultures and press histories under study working as a platform for regional dialogues and comparative perspectives. The studies presented allow a better understanding of transits and connections of both an imperial and a trans-imperial nature contributing to the consolidation of comparative approaches in the studies of European empires and colonialisms. This volume is indispensable for scholars and students in media studies modern history cultural studies literary studies and political science.
