How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- ADMM-Plus is the defence-ministers' forum of ASEAN with its eight dialogue partners, including India.
- UNCLOS (1982) governs maritime zones such as the territorial sea and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
- Counter-terrorism is among the Expert Working Groups under ADMM-Plus that conduct joint exercises and capacity-building.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS2 (International Relations) and GS3 (Internal/External Security): India's Act East policy and its ASEAN-centred Indo-Pacific vision rely on defence diplomacy such as ADMM-Plus. Offering counter-terrorism expertise and backing a rules-based order under UNCLOS signal India as a net security provider, with implications for South China Sea disputes and maritime cooperation. The way forward lies in regular joint exercises, intelligence sharing and capacity-building while preserving ASEAN centrality.
