This reference text explains what modern piracy is, where and why
it happens, and what measures are being taken to combat it. While
piracy today typically occurs in specific areas-such as Somalia and
Southeast Asia-a single pirate attack can involve and affect many
different countries. For example, a supertanker traveling in the
South China Sea might be owned by a Saudi Arabian oil company,
built in South Korea, registered in Liberia, captained by an
Italian, and crewed by Filipinos. And, as reports of attacks on
commercial vessels and cruise liners become more common, the topic
of modern piracy receives ever-increasing international scrutiny.
This chapter-based reference handbook examines modern piracy from
the mid-1970s to today. The subject is addressed from a global
perspective, covering both the causes and consequences of
present-day piracy and evaluating its impact on a number of related
issues, including international law, commercial shipping, and
terrorism. Documents important resolutions and laws from the United
Nations and European Union as well as U.S. policy statements
regarding piracy Features charts and tables that provide
at-a-glance statistical information on pirate attacks, as well as
data on factors that contribute to piracy A resources chapter
provides an annotated print and electronic bibliography organized
by subject (e.g., international law, Somalia and the Horn of
Africa, and the Mersk Alabama incident) Presents a glossary of
short definitions of unfamiliar terms
