      title = {Maritime Security in East and West Africa : a Tale of Two  Regions /},
      abstract = {'In this century more than ever, the maritime governance  discourse requires useful tools that point states and other  actors in the best possible direction. This is what Dirk  has done. He has not discussed maritime security in  abstract: this book perfectly examines the critical  linkages between good ocean governance, investment and  durable maritime security outcomes. --Kamal-Deen Ali,  Captain Ghana Navy (Rtd.) and Executive Director CEMLAWS  Africa, Ghana 'The author skillfully presents a detailed,  balanced and coherent account of contemporary maritime  security, regional cooperation and the blue economy in two  distinct regions of Africa with wider relevance for policy  makers and practitioners alike. --Robert McCabe, Assistant  Professor, Coventry University, UK This book examines the  nexus between maritime security and the 'blue economy in  sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years, maritime security  issues have received increasing attention, but academic and  policy-related discussions are largely limited to  counter-piracy operations and, to a smaller extent,  problems related to illegal fishing. This project offers an  essential addition to the current academic and political  discourse, combining a broad range of statistics with  primary research and findings from more than 40 interviews  with key stakeholders. It provides a unique analysis,  recognizing that maritime security is not an end in itself  but rather linked to economic and immaterial benefits of a  more secure environment at sea.
