Lezing: Protectors of the Sea: Piracy and Economies of Capture in the Indian Ocean

Speaker: Jatin Dua. Address: Rapenburg 59, Leiden, IIAS Conference Room. From 2009 to 2012, a dramatic upsurge in incidents of maritime piracy in the Western Indian Ocean led to renewed global attention to the fraught and sometimes over-determined region. It was time for another great unleashing: the deployment of multinational naval patrols, attempts to prosecute suspected pirates, the development of financial interdiction systems to track and stop the flow of piracy ransoms.
