  • A Blue BRICS, Maritime Security, and the South Atlantic François Vreÿ
    Contexto Internacional vol. 39(2) May/Aug 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-8529.2017390200008 A Blue BRICS, Maritime Security, and the South Atlantic François Vreÿ François Vreÿ* Abstract: Analysts frequently label the BRICS grouping of states (Brazil, India, Russia, China, and South Africa) as primarily an economic club emphasising economic performances as primary ob- jectives. Co-operation of international groupings are rarely, if ever, set within the context of their access to maritime interests, security, and benefits. A second void stems from the lack of emphasis upon the economic benefits of secured maritime domains. In this vein, a common, but neglected aspect of the BRICS grouping’s power and future influence resides in their maritime domains, the value of which ultimately depends upon the responsible governance and use of ocean territories. The maritime interests of BRICS countries only become meaningful if reinforced by maritime se- curity governance and co-operation in the respective oceans. Presently China and India seem to dominate the maritime stage of BRICS, but the South Atlantic is an often overlooked space. For BRICS the value of the South Atlantic stems from how it secures and unlocks the potential of this maritime space through co-operative ventures between Brazil, South Africa as a late BRICS partner, and West African littoral states in particular. Unfortunately, BRICS holds its own maritime tensions, as member countries also pursue competing interests at sea. Keywords: Africa; Brazil; BRICS; Maritime Security; South Atlantic; South Africa. Introduction Contemporary maritime thought prioritises matters that underpin the use of the oceans in more constructive ways, underlines the importance of co-operation, and manages the oceans in a way that promotes sustainability (Petrachenko 2012: 74).

  • Indian Ocean : a New Vision
    2013 (2) ISSN 2277 – 2464 FPRC Journal ________________________________________________________ (a Quarterly research journal devoted to studies on Indian Foreign Policy) ________________________________________________________________ Focus : Indian Ocean : A New Vision Responses, Articles ________________________________________________________ Foreign Policy Research Centre NEW DELHI (INDIA) ________________________________________________________ FPRC Journal 2013(2) Indian Ocean : A New Vision Preface Indian Ocean has the unique distinction of being the only ocean named after a country. For extra‐regional powers, the Indian Ocean has for decades fulfilled the role of an important transit corridor But Sardar KM Pannikar rightly said, “While to other countries, the Indian Ocean is only one of the important oceanic areas, to India it is a vital sea. Her lifelines are concentrated in that area, her freedom is dependent on the freedom of that water surface. No industrial development, no commercial growth, no stable political structure is possible for her unless her shores are protected...” Therefore, there is a realisation across the spectrum that the challenges, opportunities and roles the Indian Ocean provides, need to be discussed seriously in the light of the fragile security environment in the region. It is very heartening to note that a wide galaxy of writers have focused on important themes and other related issues in their writings and comments, for this special issue of FPRC Journal on Indian Ocean. We express our heart-felt thanks to our contributors who have shared our sentiments and accepted our invitation to enrich the contents of the Journal.They are always our source of strength. Mahendra Gaur Indira Gaur Director Mg. Editor Foreign Policy Research Centre New Delhi 1 FPRC Journal 2013(2) Indian Ocean : A New Vision FPRC Journal Focus : Indian Ocean : A New Vision Contributors : RESPONSES 1.

Message From the Minister Korea has established a world-class information and communication infrastructure thanks to the joint efforts of the government and private sectors to build an IT powerhouse during the 1990s. Korea's leading infrastructure in the information and communication sector has enabled Korea to achieve unprecedented developments in all areas including political, economic, social and cultural spheres. As of the end of 2003, 11.18 million households - more than 73% of the total number of households - subscribed to broadband Internet and 29.22 million people - 66% of the total population - had access to the Internet. According to the "ITU 2003 Internet Report," Korea ranks first in terms of broadband Internet penetration rate, has the third largest population of Internet users, and has the fourth highest PC penetration rate in the world.
