The Indo-Pacific region stretches from the eastern shores of Africa and West Asia to the littoral countries of the western Pacific. The region constitutes the ¿maritime underbelly¿ of Asia, and is the fastest growing region in the world; and in a few decades, is likely to witness what may be referred to as ¿Renaissance 2.0¿. The region is, therefore, ripe with enormous opportunities, not only for regional countries, but also for the rest of the global community. And yet, the region is beset with equally colossal security risks that emanate from inter alia the rise of China - that is not satisfied with ¿status quö in the global order including established international law and norms; strategic rivalries and the attendant security dilemma and arms race; issues of governance including maritime jurisdictions; the proliferation of malevolent non-state actors involved in maritime crimes and terrorism; and so on. The book is a collation of commentaries that analyse the trends with regard to the geopolitical and maritime security environment, along with the naval developments, in the Indo-Pacific in the past half-decade or so.

For a mariner, the "porthole" of a ship is the view, not only to the port, but also to the wider world. The title of the book implies that a yearning in any person to have a closer look at geopolitical, strategic and maritime issues and developments leads to a more'encompassing' perspective, and thus a better understanding and assimilation of realities concerning international affairs.
