520 _aTraces various historical reasons for the rise of piracy in Southeast Asia and its enduring appeal as an acceptable activity. Given the huge volumes of world trade that move through Southeast Asian waters, the lack of adequate control by littoral states, and the potential for organised crime or terrorist groups to exploit such weakness, the modest threat posed by local piracy becomes a more serious proposition. The book considers what can be done to not only control piracy, but to change the socio-economic environment and thus remove the motivation for piracy.
