It is the region central to global prosperity and security. It is also a metaphor for collective action. If diplomacy fails, it will be the theatre of the first general war since 1945. But if its future can be secured, the Indo-Pacific will flourish as a shared space, the centre of gravity in a connected world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat we call different parts of the world - Asia, Europe, the Middle East - seems innocuous.
