Book excerpt: This edition features articles focusing on diverse subject matters from a geopolitical, environmental and economic point of view. Sumathy Permal discusses the geopoliticl and economic complexities of the Belt and Road Initiative ; a mega-project with a reputation for both risks and opportunities. Meanwhile, Farzana Reza dives into the topic of innocent pasage as prescribed by UNCLOS, focusing on issues in the Straits of Harmuz. Cheryl Rita had collaborated with Prof Wan Izatul Asma Wan Talaat from the Institute of Oceanography and Environment to look into the legal and management role of Marine Spatial Planning in ocean governance. Last and certainly not least, Cdr Ang Chin Hup (R) weighs in on the importance of economic growth and environmental sustainability in the domain of the Indian Ocean Rim. These topics tackle complex questions from three different regions, which MIMA hopes would be insightful to readers.
