Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze maritime piracy and its economic implications with particular attention to attacks registered in the Gulf of Aden, and to investigate in theory what is the rationale behind engaging in criminal behavior. The paper also aims to investigate how the International community along with Sovereign States should allocate resources in order to make the seas a safer place and describe how closely inter-related maritime piracy, preventive and punitive measure put in place by Governments are. Elements of economics and ergonomics are taken into account in order to properly investigate the major legal issues relating to maritime security.
