In a modern global historical context, scholars have often regarded
piracy as an essentially European concept which was inappropriately
applied by the expanding European powers to the rest of the world,
mainly for the purpose of furthering colonial forms of domination
in the economic, political, military, legal and cultural spheres.
By contrast, this edited volume highlights the relevance of both
European and non-European understandings of piracy to the
development of global maritime security and freedom of navigation.
It explores the significance of 'legal posturing' on the part of
those accused of piracy, as well as the existence of non-European
laws and regulations regarding piracy and related forms of maritime
violence in the early modern era. The authors in Piracy in World
History highlight cases from various parts of the early-modern
world, thereby explaining piracy as a global phenomenon.
