Economic or biological

While the biogeographic term may be older, if the current (US-led) rise in usage as an economic / geopolitical span endures, the introduction and balance of this article will need to be revised to reflect that. Onanoff (talk) 12:20, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Geopolitcal

Given the existence of articles like Free and Open Indo-Pacific, at what point should the geopolitical concept get its own article? There is a ton of analysis out there that could be cited to fill it out. The older term is probably superseded.

Proposed merge of Free and Open Indo-Pacific into Indo-Pacific#Geopolitical context

The result of the discussion is not merged. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:04, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The content overlap points to a prospective merge. DTM (talk) 10:45, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indo-Pacific has a well-established meaning and long use in biogeography. It has recently been used a lot as a geopolitical term, with an indistinct and overlapping geography. Perhaps it's time for this article to be split into two - Indo-Pacific or Indo-Pacific realm, and Indo-Pacific (geopolitics) – so both can be fully developed. Merging these two sections as you propose sounds like a fine idea, but perhaps in a new article focused on the geopolitical uses of Indo-Pacific. Tom Radulovich (talk) 16:07, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Free and Open Indo-Pacific is a very specific concept and deserves its own article. UlyssorZebra (talk) 15:09, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As per above. Indo-Pacific is mainly a biogeographic term while Free and Open Indo-Pacific is a geopolitical term initiated by the recently-assassinated Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. 2001:8003:9008:1301:FC5F:C6D7:96E4:CC45 (talk) 09:22, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant defence of Haushofer

"The Australian Citizens Party, a minor third party associated with the LaRouche movement, criticises the "Indo-Pacific" vision as a reenactment of Nazi strategy, given the concept's link to Karl Haushofer.[32] Haushofer, however, developed the "Indo-Pacific" vision in the interwar period, not during the Second World War." - What is the relevance of the fact he developed it in the interwar period? Nazism and fascism already existed in the interwar period. Indeed, the Nazis were in power for part of the interwar period, and even before they came to power, there existed various people with pro-Nazi or Nazi-adjacent views. 89.160.9.178 (talk) 02:21, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
