The Indo-Pacific is a developing idea, one that can be understood as a cooperative venture connecting the Western Pacific with the Indian Ocean area. It can be viewed as an emerging strategic concept prompting the development of security relationships including military exercises and giving direction to force deployments. It could also be understood as a proposal for expanded region building as the institutional structures of the Western Pacific are extended to the Indian Ocean area to create a wider regionalism. Its very nascence has stimulated skepticism and even derision from some commentators who regard it as an idea whose time will never come.
