The Indo-Pacific knows a wide variety of approaches, depending on the actors, in the absence of consensus on its politico-strategic scope or even its geographic contours. The confrontational approach of the USA worries the countries of the region. The Indo-Pacific doctrine: between Sino-American rivalry and the desire to create a free and open space. What are the advantages for the countries of the region? What level of acceptance of the concept? Is the Indo-Pacific concept sustainable?
