This book combines multi-disciplinary ethnographic and theoretical
approaches to examine piracy in Southeast Asia and the regional and
international responses to this threat. During the piracy boom of
the early to mid-2000s, the issue of piracy in Southeast Asia
received substantial academic attention. Recent scholarship,
however, has shifted the focus to Somali piracy and the resurgence
of piracy in Southeast Asia has largely been neglected in the
academic community. This volume seeks to remedy this gap in the
current literature. The primary aim is to examine how piracy has
evolved in Southeast Asia over the past ten years, to address why
piracy has re-emerged as a security threat, to evaluate efforts at
maintaining security in regional waters, and to offer an analysis
of what might be expected in the next decade. The contributions are
drawn from academics, policy makers, and military officers,
covering a range of disciplines including international relations,
socio-cultural anthropology, security studies, history, law, and
Asian studies. Taken together, the contributions in this volume
provide a better understanding of contemporary piracy in Southeast
Asia and suggest avenues to successfully combat piracy in this
region. This book will be of much interest to students of maritime
security, Asian politics, security studies, and international
relations in general.

Southeast Asia and Bangladesh are at present global hot spots of
pirate attacks on merchant vessels and fishing boats. This book
explains why, and in what form, piracy still exists. It offers an
integrated analysis of the root causes of piracy, linking declining
fish stocks, organized crime networks, radical politically
motivated groups, the use of flags of convenience, the lack of
state control over national territory, and the activities of
private security companies, and identifies their wider security
implications.
