Did British, French and Russian gunboats pacify the notoriously
corsair-infested waters of the Eastern Mediterranean? This book
charts the changing rates and nature of piracy in the Eastern
Mediterranean in the nineteenth century. Using Ottoman, Greek and
other archival sources, it shows that far from ending with the
introduction European powers to the region, piracy continued
unabated. The book shows that political reforms and changes in the
regional economy caused by the accelerated integration of the
Mediterranean into the expanding global economy during the third
quarter of the century played a large role in ongoing piracy. It
also considers imperial power struggles, ecological phenomena,
shifting maritime trade routes, revisions in international maritime
law, and changes in the regional and world economy to explain the
fluctuations in violence at sea.
