Uncovering Hidden Logistical Risks in the Indo-Pacific
The vulnerability of global supply chains now extends far beyond major strategic straits, permeating a complex network of secondary nodes whose importance is often overlooked. Intermediate ports, rail corridors, transhipment hubs, and digital platforms have become critical points whose disruption can trigger cascading consequences worldwide. By foregrounding ‘invisible bottlenecks’, this Essay challenges conventional maritime security perspectives, traditionally focused on iconic chokepoints. Contemporary risks are systemic, hybrid, and interdependent, spanning physical, organisational, and cyber dimensions. India exemplifies a strategy rooted in logistical resilience, regional integration, and critical infrastructure protection, reshaping the levers of power within global trade networks.
