“Reading a book with up-to-date information not only provides new knowledge but also gives the reader the opportunity to make connections between the politics, history, geography, and economics of the region. I find Professor Karim’s work to be quite thought-provoking, and it has even inspired me to re-read the book. The figures and maps included in the work make it even more impressive and easier to understand.” To read the full review, CLICK HERE.>>> – Dr. Indu Saxena, senior expert and fellow at the Consortium of Indo-Pacific Researchers

The book provides an in-depth analysis of geopolitical dynamics of the countries along the Bay of Bengal and beyond. It covers the jostling for influence in the region by the major extra-regional powers such as the United States, China and Japan. The book explores the possibility of re-integration of South Asia with Southeast Asia. The book also looks into the possibility of the Bay as reservoir of resources such as oil, gas and fisheries as part of blue economy for the energy-starved countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc. The book also discusses the criticality of the sea lines of communication that pass along the Bay from the Persian Gulf to the Malacca Strait for energy security for the developed nations such as China, Japan, the United States, South Korea etc.
