Maritime security is a major challenge for the international
community that cuts across a broad spectrum of scholarly
disciplines and maritime operation. This volume provides in-depth
analysis of current international and regional approaches to
maritime security, cargo, port and supply chain security, maritime
information sharing and capacity building. The work describes
measures in place at multilateral and regional levels to improve
information sharing and operational coordination regarding security
threats to shipping, offshore installations and port facilities.
Several chapters address measures aimed at reducing acts of piracy
and armed robbery against shipping at sea. This edited volume
contains articles by government officials, senior naval and coast
guard commanders as well as by leading jurists and academics. One
unique feature of this volume is that many of the contributions are
by operational commanders with first-hand experience of the
practical law enforcement problems involved in minimizing
disruption to legitimate trade and business. This collection will
appeal to all concerned with maritime security and the protection
of vital international trade by sea. The CD accompanying the volume
includes important documents such as the UN Convention on the Law
of the Sea as well many PowerPoint presentations from the
thirty-first annual Virginia conference held in Heidelberg,
Germany, May 24-26, 2007.
