Reviews

This is an important, timely, and clearly written volume which will be of interest to international relations scholars and international lawyers alike. It contains a welcome breadth of approaches and resists the temptation to package piracy under false analogies or easy labels such as terrorism, armed conflict, or state failure. -Douglas Guilfoyle, University College London At last, a book that effectively leverages international relations theory and international law to understand the challenge posed by maritime piracy to our liberal ideals of global governance. This compelling interdisciplinary collection uses constructivist approaches to explore how international legal regimes and institutions have evolved over time to shape our thinking about maritime piracy, and fashioned our response to the threat. The book is impressive in scope and unique in its studied findings; there is more at stake than you think. -Commander James Kraska, U.S. Naval War College
