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.
