أهمية منطقة المحيط الهندي و الهادئ في التصورات الجيوسياسية للفواعل الاقليمية و الدولية : التنافس الصيني-الياباني أنموذجا

Abstract EN

This study seeks to shed light on the reasons that led the academic community and most regional and international actors to adopt the “Indo-Pacific region” term in their declared geopolitical perceptions as a broader geostrategic space instead of the previous term “Asia-Pacific”.

the new geographical space represents a regional and international polarization region that extends from the western coasts of the United States to the Indian Ocean region.

this study also provides an example of the geostrategic importance posed by the Indo-Pacific region within the geopolitical perceptions of regional and international actors, by reviewing the dynamics of strategic competition between China and Japan in the Indo-Pacific region.
