Summary

Beginning with an overview and historical development of piracy and the relevant maritime governance structures, Maritime Piracy examines how 20thcentury shifts in global governance norms and structures eventually left the high seas open for predatory attacks on one of the world#xE2;#xAC;"s most fastest growing and essential industries. Moving through contemporary debates about how to best combat piracy, Haywood emphasises that a solution to this chronic global problem requires a long-term, holistic, and inclusive approach.
