ABSTRACT

Maritime safety and security remains an area of concern in the Indo-Pacific region, a vast integrated maritime space bound by trade and shipping connectivity. While multiple organizations have evolved over the years to address the various threats and challenges at the sub-regional level, the absence of an overarching institution that could synergize these efforts to improve wider maritime governance has hampered overall efforts. This article explains how such an ‘umbrella’ organization could be created to enhance maritime safety and security in the Indo-Pacific region.

协调印太地区的海洋治理

摘要

海上安全和安保仍然是印度洋-太平洋地区的一个关注领域，印度洋-太平洋地区是一个广阔的综合海洋空间，受贸易和航运连通性的约束。尽管多年来已经发展了多个组织来应对次区域层面的各种威胁和挑战，但缺乏可以协同这些努力以改善更广泛的海洋治理的总体机构阻碍了整体努力。本文解释了如何创建这样一个“保护伞”组织来加强印太地区的海上安全和安保。
