International relations; International maritime law

This handbook offers a critical and substantial analysis of maritime security and documents the most pressing strategic, economic, socio-cultural and legal questions surrounding it.

Written by leading international experts, this comprehensive volume presents a wide variety of theoretical positions on maritime security, detailing its achievements and outlining outstanding issues faced by those in the field. The book includes studies which cover the entire spectrum of activity along which maritime security is developing, including, piracy, cyber security, energy security, terrorism, narco-subs and illegal fishing. Demonstrating the transformative character and potential of the topic, the book is divided into two parts. The first part exhibits a range of perspectives and new approaches to maritime security, and the second explores emerging developments in the practice of security at sea, as well as regional studies written by local maritime security experts. Taken together, these contributions provide a compelling account of the evolving maritime security environment, casting fresh light on theoretical and empirical aspects.

The book will be of much interest to practitioners and students of maritime security, naval studies, security studies, maritime history, and International Relations in general.

Reviews for Routledge Handbook of Maritime Security

"""This volume fills a critical gap in the understanding of maritime security. It places the underappreciated maritime space into the limelight, provides the necessary clarity to an ambiguous concept, and overcomes both geographical boundaries and topical constraints to become an indispensable resource for policymakers, scholars, and sailors alike."" Jeremy Stöhs, author of The Decline of European Naval Forces. ""This collection of 31 essays offers an overview of some of the newest and most insightful research in the field. Topics covered range from traditional maritime security concerns such as piracy, fisheries protection, and terrorism to emerging issues, including human trafficking, gender issues on the high seas, and renewed great power competition in the Arctic and the South Atlantic. The authors of these essays are as diverse as the topics. They come from all over the globe and a variety of academic disciplines. For anyone interested in covering the waterfront of ideas in maritime security, I highly recommend this handbook."" John Darell Sherwood, Naval Historian and author of War in the Shallows: U.S. Navy Coastal and Riverine Warfare in Vietnam, winner of the John Lyman Award for Excellence in Maritime and Naval History. ""This benchmark handbook presents an insightful and pluralist collection of contributions covering the full spectrum of maritime security studies. A must read for those new to the topic, but also for more established observers looking to capture the state of the art in this fast evolving and increasingly important field."" Timothy P. Edmunds, Professor of International Security, University of Bristol, UK."
