| Summary: | "Understanding Maritime Security provides a concise introduction to the history and evolution of security issues at sea and their corresponding solutions. It equips maritime security analysts, professionals, and students with the necessary knowledge to comprehend maritime security in its entirety. The authors provide a history of maritime security and show how analytical frameworks, including legal analyses, international relations theory, securitization, practice theory, and root cause analysis help to understand maritime security. Key issues of the maritime security agenda are discussed in depth. These include interstate conflicts, terrorism, and grey-zone warfare, as well as blue crimes such as piracy, smuggling, and illicit fishing. The book shows the range of actors involved in maritime security and details the repertoire of maritime security solutions, such as maritime security governance, strategies, information sharing, coordination, and capacity-building. The authors also analyze future trends and show how the critical infrastructure agenda, emerging technologies, cyber security, climate change, biodiversity loss, and the resurgence of geopolitics impact maritime security. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in security and the sea. It is essential reading for those aiming to pursue careers in navies, coast guards, maritime law enforcement, or security and risk analysis"--Publisher's description. |
