Abstract

The article examines the piracy problem off the coast of East Africa based on a political economy framework. The British Army "Influence" doctrine developed in Afghanistan is extended to an analysis and understanding of the piracy problem, broadening the contemporary nautical view of the piracy threat to the execution of land warfare as well as providing a deeper understanding of the actions of the local populace in conflict areas. The efficacy of counter-piracy operations is also analyzed.
