Once confined to academic foreign policy discussions, in recent years the term ‘Indo-Pacific’ has gained widespread political and public acceptance.
What is behind the rise in prominence of this term? What actors are pushing it? Does it have a clear and agreed upon meaning? Has it replaced the ‘Asia-Pacific’ and, if so, why?
