THE NEW PIRATES

Book ID/图书代码： 06545012B56139

English Summary/英文概要： Piracy is a significant global threat to international sea-borne trade - the life-blood of modern industrial economies and vital for world economic survival. The pirates of today are constantly in the world’s news media, preying on private and merchant shipping from small, high-speed vessels. Andrew Palmer here provides the historical background to the new piracy, its impact on the shipping and insurance industries and also considers the role of international bodies like the UN and the International Maritime Bureau, international law and the development of advanced naval and military measures. He shows how this ’new’ piracy is rooted in the geopolitics and socio-economic conditions of the late-20th century where populations live on the margins and where weak or ’failed states’ can encourage criminal activity and even international terrorism. Somalia is considered to be the nest of piracy, but hotspots include not only the Red Sea region, but also the whole Indian Ocean, West Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia and the South China Seas.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 海盗是全球国际海上贸易的一个重要的威胁– 是现代工业经济的命脉和世界经济生存的重要。今天的海盗不断的出现在世界新闻媒体上，在小型的高速船侵害私人商船。安德鲁•帕尔默提供了新的海盗的历史背景，其航运业和保险业的影响，并考虑了国际机构，如联合国和国际海事局，国际法的作用和先进的海军的发展和军事措施。他表明了这个“新”的海盗是如何根植于20世纪后期的地缘政治和社会经济条件，那里的人生活在边缘，那里弱或“失败国家”会鼓励犯罪活动，甚至国际恐怖主义。索马里被认为是海盗的巢穴，但热点不仅是红海地区，也包括整个印度洋，西非，拉美，东南亚和中国南海。(LNL)
