Maritime piracy, a phenomenon of nature regional and global reach. Nature and economic impact (DIEEEO42-2015)

Despite being mainly gathered in several regions, maritime piracy keeps being a threat that affects all the international society, since it has effects on the maritime transport, which represents 90% of the international trade. Therefore, the security cooperation should be the way to go when fighting against this phenomenon, and the successful containment of piracy at Somali coasts must inspire future actions in other areas where the piracy is a constant threat, such as the Guinea Gulf or Southeast Asia. In this paper it is proposed a comparative and current study of the maritime piracy in the areas where it predominates, focusing on the economic effects that it generates and on the necessity of approaching them jointly by states and international organizations.
