Policy analysis uncovers persistent structural triggers of Somali piracy, indicating that international counter-piracy measures remain unsustainable without broader governance reforms.

Key Points

To evaluate the sustainability of international counter-piracy operations and identify the structural factors that govern the rise and decline of Somali piracy.
Conducted a policy analysis examining the dynamics behind the surge and subsequent decline of piracy off the coast of Somalia.
Evaluated international naval and legal countermeasures against six systemic drivers: geography, weak law enforcement, maritime insecurity, economic dislocation, cultural acceptability, and organized criminal entrepreneurship.
Identified that current international counter-piracy measures primarily target only two of the six key drivers: law enforcement capacity and cultural acceptability.
Established qualitatively that recent reductions in Somali pirate attacks remain fragile and vulnerable to reversal without comprehensive improvements in long-term maritime security governance.
