Naval Postgraduate School Naval Postgraduate School National Security Affairs Approved for public release; distribution unlimited This thesis examines United States interests in the Western Indian Ocean and recommends a policy toward the area. It analyzes the economic and regional importance of the main states in the area: Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, The Comoros, and The Seychelles. Particular attention is given to strategic, economic and political considerations. United States policy objectives and options in the area are broadly explored and recommendations are made for a policy that is affirmative rather than reactive in approach to the area and its problems. This approach should not target a specific country but rather must look at the area in a regional and global perspective. 2012-11-20T00:09:07Z 2012-11-20T00:09:07Z 1982-06 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/20388 en_US Monterey, California.
