Assessing contemporary maritime piracy in Southeast Asia: trends, hotspots and responses

Abstract: "In 2013 insular Southeast Asia was the region most prone to pirate attacks in the world. (The author) takes a close look at contemporary piracy in this region, examines the nature of pirate attacks and identifies recent piracy trends and hotspots. Has there been a shift or change in comparison to the last piracy boom in this region between the 1990s and the mid-2000s? And what could be done to ensure piracy does not worsen, to protect those targeted by attacks in the future and guarantee the safety of the region's primary maritime shipping routes? (The author) demonstrates that, unlike in waters such as the wider Gulf of Aden area, there is no need for international warships or armed private security guards on ships in Southeast Asia. Instead, it is important to work out tailored responses to the specific types of attacks as well as adopt broader measures which address the root causes of piracy." (author's abstract)
