这篇文章争论了三件事。首先，它认为，在概念层面上，对印度-太平洋海洋区域框架进行了战略重新发现。其次，它认为，在政策层面上，印度和美国在印太地区存在着显着的地区安全趋同和一定程度的战略平衡。第三，它认为，在因果层面上，印度在印度洋和美国在太平洋面临着来自中国的共同海上挑战，这是一个共同的印太战略挑战，导致了美印海军的重大交汇。为了解决这些问题，本文探讨了围绕“印太”概念所采用的战略话语，以及美国和印度在印太地区部署的相关海上资产。
This article argues three things. First, it argues that at the conceptual level there has been a strategic rediscovery of a maritime regional framework, the Indo-Pacific. Second, it argues that at the policy level there is a significant regional security convergence, a degree of strategic balancing, between India and the United States in this Indo-Pacific. Third, it argues that at the causal level there is a common maritime challenge from China faced by India in the Indian Ocean and by the United States in the Pacific Ocean, a common Indo-Pacific strategic challenge which is generating this significant US-India naval convergence. In order to deal with such matters, the article looks at the strategic discourse employed around the concept of the Indo-Pacific, and the related maritime assets deployed in the Indo-Pacific by the United States and India.
