The 2 volumes include 'Geopolitical Orientations, Regionalism and Security in the Indian Ocean' and 'Energy Security and the Indian Ocean Region'.

Geopolitical Orientations, Regionalism and Security in the Indian Ocean- First published in 2004, this book is the inaugural volume of the Indian Ocean Research Group (IORG).

The volume emphasizes the complexity and historical and contemporary geopolitical significance of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

It also propagates the necessity for increased intra-regional cooperation.

Energy Security and the Indian Ocean Region- First published in 2005, this book is the second volume produced by the Indian Ocean Research Group (IORG).

The Indian Ocean Region has become increasingly important to discussions on energy security, not only because of the critical importance of regional states as energy suppliers, but also because of the essential role of the Ocean as an energy route.

The main purpose of this volume is to provide an elaborate and critical evaluation of some of these issues and their implications for regions outside the Indian Ocean.
