This article offers an examination of the main trends
pointing to the intensification of interstate power disputes
in the Indian Ocean Region (ROI), a space of growing
interest in the strategic concert of the 21 st century. In
this perspective, we will seek to analyze the strategic
importance of this space, as well as the existing regional
dynamics of security, competition, and regional
integration. The central hypothesis suggests that the
growing relevance acquired by the region in the global
scenario has given rise to a "clash of powers",
with the United States, India, and China as the main
actors involved. The research also sought to contextualize
the increased interest in the region with official guidelines
recently adopted by relatively new actors such as
Germany.
