In the Name of the Battle against Piracy discusses antipiracy
campaigns in Europe and Asia in the 16th-19th centuries. Nine
contributors argue how important antipiracy campaigns were for the
establishment of a (colonial) state, because piracy was a threat
not only to maritime commerce, but also to its sovereignty. 'Battle
against piracy' offered a good reason for a state to claim its
authority as the sole protector of people, and to establish peace,
order, and sovereignty. In fact, as the contributors explain, the
story was not that simple, because states sometimes attempted to
make economic and political use of piracy, while private interests
were strongly involved in antipiracy politics. State formation
processes were not clearly separated from non-state elements.
Contributors are: Kudo Akihito, Satsuma Shinsuke, Suzuki Hideaki,
Lakshmi Sabramanian, Ota Atsushi, James Francis Warren, Fujita
Tatsuo, Murakami Ei, and Toyooka Yasufumi.
