| description | Although the Malacca Strait was previously one of the main piracy prone areas, it is becoming increasingly secure, and presents itself as a good example. Nevertheless, field research tends to cast a shadow over this optimistic view. Indeed, even if pirates living in villages are now worried by patrols set up by the States and even if they don’t want to take anymore risks to rob seamen, the situation is different in the cities. There, idle people keep an eye on the opportunities for hijacking. In the surrounding areas of the Malacca Strait, there have already been attacks in 2008. Furthermore, the current economic crisis obliges parties concerned to stay vigilant. Eventually, piracy appears as a ‘land roots’ threat, with more social than military dimensions and implications. |
