Class Hours: 3, Units: 3
Prerequisite(s): GMA 100 or GMA 105
Explores the emerging threats to global maritime trade, specifically those to the world’s sea lanes of communication and chokepoints. Threats include, but are not limited to, the following: a) increased demand (leading to larger numbers of collisions); b) state threats that may lead to armed conflict such as those that exist in the South China Sea; c) non-state threats such as maritime piracy and terrorism. The role of the ISPS, MTSA, bilaterial agreements, international organizations and international law in resolving these issues is explored.
