The oceans are of critical importance to global trade, power relations, communications, energy security, and environmental sustainability. Yet the maritime order faces a myriad of threats and challenges, whether it be from pirates, Houthi rebels, cyber criminals, attacks on undersea data cables or conflicts between states.
The question of how to achieve maritime security is addressed by Professors Christian Bueger (University of Copenhagen) and Tim Edmunds (University of Bristol) in their new book, “Understanding Maritime Security,” published by Oxford University Press in 2024.
This event presents key findings from the book, in dialogue with a panel of experts from academia, government, and industry. Together, we consider the future of the maritime security agenda, and what it means for the UK and its partners, asking:
- What is the strategic and economic context for maritime security?
- What maritime security threats should we be preparing for, now and in the future?
- What responses and solutions should we prioritise?
- How can states work together with allies and industry to achieve maritime security?
Our discussion will be followed by a drinks reception.
