Title: "Understanding Maritime Security", co-authored with Tim Edmunds.

Abstract:​
Whether it is pirates, smugglers, illicit fishing, or disputes in the South China Sea, the oceans are of increasing importance in international security. In his lecture, Christian Bueger will present his new book“Understanding Maritime Security”, co-authored with Timothy Edmunds. The book provides a concise introduction to the history of security at sea and explains the core frameworks of analysis that professionals use to understand and tackle challenges to maritime order. Bueger discusses key issues within the maritime security agenda, including inter-state disputes, terrorism, piracy, smuggling, trafficking, and illicit fishing, and examines how states have responded. Bueger analyzes future trends and shows how maritime security is impacted by the critical infrastructure agenda, emerging technologies, cyber security, climate change, biodiversity loss, and the renaissance of geopolitics.
