Unlock the Secrets of Maritime Piracy

Maritime piracy’s re-emergence in the 1990s and 2000s was a surprise to many. However, Pirate Lands by Ursula Daxecker and Brandon Prins offers a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.

The Puzzle of Maritime Piracy

Pirates do not operate in the least governed areas of weak states. Instead, they thrive in places where elites and law enforcement can be bribed, and where there is access to functioning roads, ports, and markets.

Statistical Analysis and Geo-Spatial Tools

Daxecker and Prins use statistical analyses of cross-national and sub-national data to explain the location of maritime piracy. They also employ geo-spatial tools to measure the impact of local political capacity and infrastructure on piracy.

Drawing upon interviews with former pirates, community members, and maritime security experts, Pirate Lands offers a unique perspective on this complex issue.
