Product Description

Review

Murphy’s analysis and the conclusion are hard to fault, making this recommended reading for maritime security professionals.
David Osler, Lloyd's List

Product Description

Do piracy and maritime terrorism, individually or together, present a threat to international security, and what relationship if any exists between them?

Piracy may be a marginal problem in itself, but the connections between organised piracy and wider criminal networks and corruption on land make it an element of a phenomenon that can have a weakening effect on states and a destabilising one on the regions in which it is found. Furthermore, it is also an aspect of a broader problem of disorder at sea that, exacerbated by the increasing pressure on littoral waters from growing numbers of people and organisations seeking to exploit maritime resources, encourages maritime criminality and gives insurgents and terrorists the freedom to operate. In this context, maritime terrorism, though currently only a low-level threat, has the potential to spread and become more effective in the event of political change on land. It is only by addressing the issue of generalised maritime disorder that the problems of piracy and maritime terrorism may be controlled in the long term.

Excellent Summary of Current Piracy Problems 3 Dec 2010
By Bruce A. Elleman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book does an excellent job of summarizing the intricacies of modern-day piracy, as well as relating piracy to the ever present threat of maritime terrorism. As the growing piracy problem off Somalia has shown, pirate attacks have shifted in recent years from off-shore coastal waters to the high seas, and from pirating small and medium vessels to larger ships, even including crude oil tankers. As the author rightly warns, ignoring piracy in the waters of "weak states," like Somalia, could lead to its gradual spread, which could make the even more dangerous threat of maritime terrorism greater.
Not really usefull 2 July 2010
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Countering Piracy and Maritime Terrorism is a hot topic but needs to be covered from a variety of perspectives not just one. This book does not really introduce new concepts nor does it tie old concepts together in a new way. Perhpas I was just expecting too much.
