This book seeks to identify and address gaps in our understanding
of maritime security and the role of small navies in Europe. The
majority of Europe's navies are small, yet they are often called
upon to address a complex array of traditional and non-traditional
threats. This volume examines the role of small navies within the
European security architecture, by discussing areas of commonality
and difference between navies, and arguing that it is not possible
to fully understand either maritime strategy or European security
without taking into account the actions of small navies. It
contains a number of case studies that provide an opportunity to
explore how different European states view the current security
environment and how naval policy has undergone significant changes
within the lifetime of the existing naval assets. In addition, the
book examines how maritime security and naval development in Europe
might evolve, given that economic forecasts will likely limit the
potential procurement of 'larger' naval assets in the future, which
means that European states will increasingly have to do more with
less in the maritime domain. This book will be of much interest to
students of maritime strategy, naval power, strategic studies,
European politics and international relations in general.

This book studies recent attempts to restructure maritime security
sectors through capacity building. It innovates both theoretically
and empirically. It proposes a new framework for understanding
maritime capacity building, drawing on work in peacebuilding and
security sector reform. The framework is then applied across
empirical case studies from the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region
written by scholars from the Global South. The WIO region is a
paradigmatic case to study maritime security and capacity building
in action. Countries in the region face the full gamut of maritime
security challenges, while their indigenous capacities to deal with
these are often weak. In consequence, the region functions as an
engine of innovation for maritime capacity building more widely.
The lessons and best practices from the region have importance
consequences for addressing maritime security across the globe.
