Understanding Maritime Security, Christian Bueger, Timothy Edmunds, Oxford University Press (2024), p. 240, ISBN: 9780197767153 (paperback)

Thrilled to read a new review of our book 'Understanding Maritime Security'.

"In consolidating this essential knowledge, the authors [...] deliver a practical manual for engaging with maritime issues, and they legitimate the new maritime security agenda."

We also discuss the big trends: cyber security, infrastructure protection, climate change, geopolitical competition and their impact on the maritime security agenda.

Among other matters, we discuss how states and their proxies have long used the sea to pursue their political goals, and why it is so difficult to eradicate piracy.

The book provides readers with the context of maritime security issues and solutions, such as operations at sea, capacity building or maritime domain awareness.

Hey folks, not sure how many MARSEC people are on here yet, but my former SafeSeas colleague Robert McCabe has just published a fabulous paper on environmental drivers of maritime insecurity in the Western Indian Ocean in CSD. Check it out! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
