Modern Maritime Piracy
This book examines the complex phenomena of modern maritime piracy. The work offers a cutting-edge analysis of modern maritime piracy in the two most pirate-prone regions – southeast Asia and northeast Africa – from the late twentieth century to the modern day.

Understanding Maritime Security
A concise introduction to the history and evolution of security at sea. Whether it is pirates, smugglers, illicit fishing, or disputes in the South China Sea, the oceans are of increasing importance in international security. In Understanding Maritime Security, Christian Bueger and Timothy Edmunds provide a concise introduction to the history of security at sea and explain the core frameworks of analysis that professionals use to understand and tackle challenges to maritime order. They discuss key issues within the maritime security agenda, including inter-state disputes, terrorism, piracy, smuggling, trafficking, and illicit fishing, and examine how states have responded. Bueger and Edmunds analyze future trends and show how maritime security is impacted by the critical infrastructure agenda, emerging technologies, cyber security, climate change, biodiversity loss, and the renaissance of geopolitics. Comprehensive and incisive, this primer of maritime security is essential reading for maritime security professionals and students of this increasingly important issue.

Assembling Exclusive Expertise
This book looks at the worlding of the Global South in the process of assembling conflict resolution expertise. Anna Leander, Ole Wæver and their contributors pursue this ambition by following the experts, institutions, databases and creative expressions that are assembled into conflict resolution expertise in the Global South. Expertise shapes how conflicts in the Global South are understood and consequently dealt with. Yet, expertise is always and necessarily exclusive. The exclusivity of expertise refers both to the fashionable, the sophisticated and what counts, and also to the exclusion of some people or views. Assembled from a wealth of competing knowledges expertise is always both knowledgeable and ignorant. The ambition of the volume is to explore how this exclusive expertise is assembled and in what ways it is therefore knowledgeable and ignorant of knowledges in/of the Global South. This work will be of significant interest to advanced students and scholars of conflict resolution, peace research, mediation and international relations and scholars of expertise.

海洋是生命的搖籃，風雨的故鄉，資源的寶庫，戰略的關鍵！ 印度洋溝通三個大陸和兩個大洋，是當代世界地緣政治與地緣經濟的焦點，是大國海上博弈的舞臺，也是海上非傳統安全問題表現最集中的地域。將印度洋與太平洋和大西洋相互對比可知，印度洋與其他兩大洋的實質區別在於其更強烈的「大陸性」，即更易受陸上權力格局變動的影響，具體體現在三方面。第一，印度洋在東西北三面均分佈有大國勢力，而大西洋和太平洋周邊的大國勢力只分佈在東西兩側。第二，與太平洋和大西洋較分散的航線分佈相比，印度洋的...
Les puissants à l'assaut de la culture
Les sphères de la culture sont devenues incontournables pour comprendre les stratégies de puissance des industries culturelles et des gouvernements. Si l'essentiel de l'activité internationale en matière culturelle provenait de l'Amérique, ce temps est révolu. Aujourd'hui, on assiste à une démultiplication des acteurs privés et publics et de leurs coalitions transnationales, tandis que le numérique prend une place prépondérante dans les luttes hégémoniques. D'une part, les pays émergents ont poursuivi une politique de développement culturel réussie. D'autre part, les géants du web (GAFAM) ont investi l'audiovisuel. Sans régulation, ces nouveaux acteurs rivalisent avec les puissances établies pour concentrer une part de soft power.
