Summary

Piracy and smuggling remain as great a problem today as they were several hundreds of years ago, and just as vital to understanding maritime security, global trade, and national sovereignty issues. As in the past, the greatest number of pirates and highest frequency of attacks are in Asia.This is the first book to analyze the important role played by piracy and smuggling in shaping modern societies in the whole region from Japan to Southeast Asia. Many societies that have worked diligently to eliminate piracy have immortalized the very same condemned pirates as folk heroes. These studies contrast with land-centered and nation-oriented histories by comparatively exploring violence and clandestine trade in the Greater China Seas. Contributors include Anthony Reid, Peter D. Shapinsky, James K. Chin, Maria Grazia Petrucci, Igawa Kenji, Paola Calanca, Robert Hellyer, Ota Atsushi, and Eric Tagliocozzo.Robert J. Antony is professor of Chinese and comparative history at the University of Macau.
