Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Maritime Security Cooperation in the Guinea: Prospects and Challenges, Kamal-Deen Ali provides ground-breaking analyses of the maritime security situation in the Gulf of Guinea and its implications for shipping, energy security, sustainable fisheries as well as national and regional security. The book juxtaposes the growing strategic importance of the Gulf of Guinea against the rising insecurity in the maritime domain, especially from piracy. Ali points out key gaps in prevailing regional and international approaches to maritime security cooperation in the Gulf of Guinea and sets out several suggestions for combating piracy as well as other maritime security threats while effectively enhancing maritime security cooperation in the region.

Book excerpt: The Gulf of Guinea maritime environment accounts for between 70-90 percent of the revenue of the states in the region. In addition to its rich forestry, fisheries reserves, and massive mineral and hydrocarbon deposits, it also houses the largest volumes of the region's oil and gas, which are still its most valued natural resources. Thus, its economic importance has been of great regional and global interest at all times. Invariably, the economic prosperity, or otherwise, of the states in the region is intrinsically tied to the peace and security of the Gulf. This primary and strategic position of the Gulf in the socio-economic survival and development of the states in the region critically underscores the huge importance of its general security, which in recent years and decades has been blighted by many security challenges. Dele Ezeoba's Maritime Security: Imperatives for Economic Development in the Gulf of Guinea extensively engages the dynamics and dialectics of security and economic development in the chosen maritime area, and establishes theoretical and practical mechanisms that should be deployed in combating security threats in the maritime space, and opening up the region to greater development. It offers enterprising vistas of intellectual designs in addressing critical issues of maritime security and economic prosperity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century has seen a sharp rise in privatization of the military, especially of logistics and security functions during the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The outbreak of Somali piracy that started in 2008 has prompted a similar revolution in maritime security. Private security companies began operating armed escort vessels to protect merchant shipping against pirates off the Horn of Africa. Private Anti-Piracy Navies is intended to provide a contextualized understanding of the historical origins, current state, and future prospects of this fast-changing sector. Centuries ago, the British East India Company used a private navy against piracy in the same waters with much success. Yet since then, international law has evolved to more tightly regulate the use of force by civilians, and to afford greater protections to suspected pirates. Thus, the development of what are in effect private warships has presented numerous legal and regulatory problems. How can the companies that operate these vessels be effectively licensed? Under what circumstances should they be allowed to use lethal force? This book explains how regulators in industry and government have attempted to answer such questions, and highlights the remaining areas of uncertainty. It also addresses the economic factors that drive the struggle between pirates and anti-piracy forces. Of equal concern are operational considerations such as defensive tactics, logistics, and rules of engagement. Security companies must carefully balance rights concerns against the need to defend ships effectively. Partly due to the contribution of private security, piracy in the Indian Ocean has dropped significantly over the past two years, leading to widespread overconfidence. Governments under severe budget pressure may withdraw their naval task forces from the region prematurely, leading to a resurgence of Somali piracy. At the same time, pirates are wreaking havoc in the Gulf of Guinea off West Africa. The book concludes with an assessment of private naval forces’ prospects in these conflicts over the short term, as well as the implications for wider naval privatization in the long run.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of maritime insecurity in the Gulf of Guinea is not a new phenomenon. Piracy itself has a long history but a contemporary form of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea has arguably developed over the past 25 years. In the 1990s, 'coastal communities of the delta regularly attacked passing boats on an ad hoc basis'. Such piracy activities were more 'akin to sea robbers' and less organised than the piracy activities that we are now witnessing in these waters today. Similarly, it has recently been stressed that, in the past, most of the piracy incidents were cases of maritime robbery. Bearing that in mind, this report sheds light on the contemporary nature of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea as these activities have developed from maritime robbery (petty theft) to being characterised by high levels of violence and high levels of organisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution, function, problems and prospects of private security companies in the maritime sector. The private security industry continues to evolve after its renaissance over the past few decades, first in Africa, and later in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite this, little academic work has been done to date on the role of private security in the maritime environment. This lacuna has become more pronounced as the threat of piracy, terrorism, and other acts of maritime political violence have caused littoral states and commercial entities alike to consider the use of private security to mitigate risks. Maritime Private Security is an edited volume specifically dedicated to combating the absence of academic research in this area. The discussion of this multi-faceted subject is organised into four key parts: Part I: The Historical and Contemporary Market in Maritime Private Security Services Part II: The Emergence of Private Anti-Piracy Escorts in the Commercial Sector Part III: The Privatization of Coast Guard Services Part IV: Private Security Responses to Maritime Terrorism This book will be of much interest to students of naval policy and maritime security, private security companies, piracy and terrorism, international law and IR in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insecurity in the Gulf of Guinea is a function of the region's diverse natural resources, the vulnerabilities inherent in its geographical location as well as environmental and demographic factors. Poaching, piracy, transnational crime, boundary disputes and environmental degradation are common threats to security of the Gulf. Although some steps were taken by international and regional stakeholders to address the threats, inherent challenges such as uncoordinated international and regional initiatives, lack of situational awareness and response capabilities and lack of robust legislative and judicial arrangements militated against the expected successes. To combat threats to maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea, international community and regional authorities would have to adopt an integrated demand-based approach to identify, prioritize and resource requirements to empower Maritime Organization of West and Central Africa, an existing regional maritime security structure, to deal with the threats. This approach will promote unity of efforts and address the needs of the stakeholders.

Book excerpt: The EU has long played the role of a critical maritime security provider in the Gulf. Its efforts, however, have been perceived to have dual effects: they are mutually beneficial and also - more controversially - seen as infringements of regional sovereignty. This dualism is further aggravated by the region's volatility as a centre of great-power competition. Africa and the EU can either leverage their long-standing partnership to galvanise efforts in the shared agenda of enhancing maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea or face heightened geopolitical tension characterised by sovereignty versus great-power competition in the region. Given the fluidity and synergy of the ocean space, the former provides a unique opportunity to shape the context of Africa-EU relations far beyond the confines of the Gulf of Guinea in a manner that will be mutually beneficial to both parties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From pirates to smugglers, migrants to hackers, from stolen fish to smuggled drugs, the sea is becoming a place of increasing importance on the global agenda as criminals use it as a theatre to conduct their crimes unfettered. This volume sets out to provide an introduction to the key issues of pertinence in Maritime Security today. It demonstrates why the sea is a space of great strategic importance, and how threats to security at sea have a real impact for people around the world. It examines an array of challenges and threats to security playing out at sea, including illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, irregular migration, piracy, smuggling of illicit goods, and cyber security, while also looking at some of the mechanism and role-players involved in addressing these perils. Each chapter provides an overview of the issue it discusses and provides a brief case study to illustrate how this issue is playing out in real-life. This book thus allows readers an insight into this evolving multidisciplinary field of study. As such, it makes for an informative read for academics and practitioners alike, as well as policymakers and students, offering a well-rounded introduction of the main issues in current Maritime Security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To offer security in the maritime domain, governments around the world need the capabilities to directly confront common threats like piracy, drug-trafficking, and illegal immigration. No single navy or nation can do this alone. Recognizing this new international security landscape, the former Chief of Naval Operations called for a collaborative international approach to maritime security, initially branded the "1,000-ship Navy." This concept envisions U.S. naval forces partnering with multinational, federal, state, local and private sector entities to ensure freedom of navigation, the flow of commerce, and the protection of ocean resources. This new book from the National Research Council examines the technical and operational implications of the "1,000-ship Navy," as they apply to four levels of cooperative efforts: U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and merchant shipping only; U.S. naval and maritime assets with others in treaty alliances or analogous arrangements; U.S. naval and maritime assets with ad hoc coalitions; and U.S. naval and maritime assets with others than above who may now be friendly but could potentially be hostile, for special purposes such as deterrence of piracy or other criminal activity.

Book excerpt: This book illustrates how Africa’s defence and security domains have been radically altered by drastic changes in world politics and local ramifications. First, the contributions of numerous authors highlight the transnational dimensions of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency in Africa and reveal the roles played by African states and regional organisations in the global war on terror. Second, the volume critically evaluates the emerging regional architectures of countering terrorism, insurgency, and organised violence on the continent through the African Union Counterterrorism Framework (AU-CTF) and Regional Security Complexes (RSC). Third, the book sheds light on the counterterrorism and counterinsurgency (CT-COIN) structures and mechanisms established by specific African states to contain, degrade, and eliminate terrorism, insurgency, and organised violence on the continent, particularly the successes, constraints, and challenges of the emerging CT-COIN mechanisms. Finally, the volume highlights the entry of non-state actors – such as civil society, volunteer groups, private security companies, and defence contractors – into the theatre of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency in Africa through volunteerism, community support for state-led CT-COIN Operations, and civil-military cooperation (CIMIC). This book will be of use to students and scholars of security studies, African studies, international relations, and terrorism studies, and to practitioners of development, defence, security, and strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing threat of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea poses a direct threat to the economic and security interests of Nigeria and the entire West African region. With the largest population and economy in the region, Nigeria arguably stands to lose the most if the maritime security environment continues to decline, but the entire region will suffer as well. Major international powers like the United States and Europe are increasingly dependent on oil from the region, and the continued decline of maritime security holds that revenue stream, which is sorely needed for regional development, at risk. As evident by the rising maritime threat level in the region, no single nation has the capacity to unilaterally combat piracy and subsequently improve maritime security. Recent improvements in maritime security, both in the Malacca Strait and along Africa's East Coast, demonstrate how regional approaches can create opportunities for coastal regions to apply the principle of unity of effort through cooperation. This paper will show that these regional bodies share common lines of effort that improve maritime security by reducing the gaps in which pirates operate. Given the nature and extent of the current maritime security environment in the Gulf of Guinea, it is clear that a realistic strategy on the part of Nigeria and the other gulf nations must begin at the regional level.
