Pirates in Paradise a Modern History of Southeast Asia’S Maritime Marauders Stefan Eklöf Stefan Eklöf Piracy Is Not Dead EKLÖF Pirates in Paradise A Modern History of Southeast Asia’s Maritime Marauders Stefan Eklöf Stefan Eklöf Piracy is not dead. Since the late-twentieth century, pirates have returned to the world’s oceans with a vengeance. Many of them are IN PARADISE PIRATES just as violent and fearsome as Blackbeard and the buccaneers of old but – equipped with M16 rifles, submachine guns, grenade launchers and even bombs – they are able to inflict much more harm. Worst hit is Southeast Asia where thousands of people have lost their lives at the hands of pirates in the last 25 years. Here, oil tankers, cargo ships, passenger vessels, fishing boats and pleasure yachts all have been targets of ruthless attacks. Fears are growing of pirates and terrorists cooperating to stage a maritime-style 9/11 attack near Singapore, closing the world’s busiest seaway. But who are these modern sea robbers who continue to infest the waters of Southeast Asia? Why have they not been suppressed by the security forces of the region? How serious is the problem for interna- tional shipping, for fishermen and for governments? Rich and engrossing in its detail, this book offers profound insights into contemporary terrorism, piracy and transnational organized crime in Southeast Asia. It will be essential reading not just for shipping professionals, business people dealing with Asia and security special- ists but indeed for anyone with an interest in maritime affairs or the East Asian world. Historian Stefan Eklöf, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading experts on maritime security in Southeast Asia and lectures in Asian Studies at Sweden’s Gothenburg University.

Above all, and apart from providing me with a dynamic and stimulating research environment at the Centre, the fellowship gave me the time to conduct in-depth research into the topic of con- temporary piracy in maritime Southeast Asia. The Lund Asia Library also provided excellent facilities for conducting the research, and their dedicated staff did everything to provide me with any type of material that I required for the study. The first phase of the project was undertaken during a visiting fellowship at the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS) in Copen- hagen from October 2002 to August 2003, which was made possible by a grant from Nordisk Forskerutdanningsakademi (NorFA). Like the Centre in Lund, NIAS also provided a stimulating research en- vironment and excellent library facilities and support. Together with the Centre in Lund, NIAS also financed a workshop on Piracy and Non-Traditional Threats to Maritime Security, which I coordinated in May 2004, and which proved to be of great value for the project, especially because of the international contacts it generated. I also wish to thank Crafoordska stiftelsen, Fil dr Uno Otterstedts fond för främjande av vetenskaplig undervisning och forskning, Stiftelsen Bokelunds resestipendiefond and the Swedish School of Advanced Asia-Pacific Studies (SSAAPS) for generous contributions to travel and other expenses in relation to the project. Gothenburg, April 2006 Pirates_prelims.fm Page viii Wednesday, May 10, 2006 3:21 PM viii Pirates in Paradise : Southeast Asia ap 1 M Pirates_book.fm Page 1 Wednesday, May 10, 2006 3:20 PM CHAPTER 1 Introduction FEW CRIMES IN HISTORY evoke as many colourful, and even romantic, associations as piracy. At least in Western popular culture, pirates, whether based on historical figures or purely fictional characters, seem to hold special fascination, not only for children but also for many adults. Who has not, for example, heard of the exploits and adventures of Henry Morgan, Captain Kidd, Edward Teach (alias Blackbeard) and Bartholomew Roberts, to mention only a few of the most prominent pirates of the ‘golden age’ of European and Atlantic piracy in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries? Depicted invariably as brave, adventurous, cruel, bloodthirsty and hungry for gold and treasures, the pirates of the golden age have in one way or another stood as models for numerous fictional char- acters in adolescent and children’s stories like R. L. Stevenson’s Treasure Island and J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, as well as in action and adventure movies, especially in the 1950s but also more recently for instance in the blockbuster film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, released in 2003 and to be continued in a sequel due in 2006. For all their diversity and creative imagination, the novels and movies have one thing in common: they were all produced long after piracy ceased to be a threat to maritime traffic in the Atlantic. During the last wave of Atlantic piracy between 1716 and 1726 – the days of Blackbeard and Roberts – there were probably few seafarers who would think of pirates as romantic figures, and the major contemporary account on the subject, Captain Charles Johnson’s General History of the Pyrates, first published in 1724, is abundant Pirates_book.fm Page 2 Wednesday, May 10, 2006 3:20 PM 2 Pirates in Paradise with tales of arbitrary and often repellent violence by the pirates. In those days the Jolly Roger, the feared black or blood-red pirate flag generally featuring a skull or skeleton, fulfilled its purpose of per- suading the crews of the target ships to surrender rather than die at the hands of the pirates. Today’s pirates rarely hoist the Jolly Roger, but just like their seventeenth- and eighteenth-century counterparts they strike fear in the hearts and minds of seafarers around the world. Many of them, moreover, are just as brutal as Blackbeard and his contemporaries, and over the past decade, at least hundreds, and probably thousands, of sailors, fishermen and other seafarers have been killed by pirates and maritime terrorists. Pirates still roam the Caribbean, but in numbers the region is dwarfed by Southeast Asia, which currently accounts for close to half of all reported attacks world-wide. Pirate attacks actually seem to be more frequent in Southeast Asia today than they ever were during the golden age of Atlantic piracy. Historian Marcus Rediker has estimated that between 1716 and 1726, pirates captured and plundered an estimated 2,400 vessels, or an average of 218 per year. Between 2000 and 2004, by comparison, the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), which is the main source of information about contemporary piracy, recorded 920 attacks in Southeast Asia (out of a total of 1,944 world-wide), or an average of 184 per year. The IMB, however, believes that its figures only represent about half of the actual number of attacks, giving a total average of some 368 attacks per year in the region.1 This book sets out to describe the extent, distribution and character of piracy in Southeast Asia during the last 25 years and, above all, to explain why piracy, as it seems, has returned after having been all but extinct in the region – as in most of the rest of the world – for close to a century.

Nigerian waters has seen a surge on seafarer kidnapping recently despite the regional forces efforts to disrupt oil theft at sea and on land. Call for collaboration continues to be made, but has yet to be effective established. a Nigerian supply vessel is delated to have been hijacked almost a week after the fact. The loss of billions in crude oil theft made it a challenging 2013 for oil companies. The boarding of three vessels underway near Singapore demonstrates that it is not just petty theft at anchor that is the threat. Increased security surveillance and patrols does not mean freedom from attacks. In East Africa, the state of Puntland officially banned IUU fishing, terminating all licenses previously granted, making all foreign fishing vessels illegal - two weeks to comply.

  • DVD Piracy As Alternative Media: the Scandal of Piracy, and the Piracy of “Scandal” in the Philippines, 2005–2009
    MARIA F. MANGAHAS 109 Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies 2014 29 (1): 109–139 DVD Piracy as Alternative Media: The Scandal of Piracy, and the Piracy of “Scandal” in the Philippines, 2005–2009 MARIA F. MANGAHAS ABSTRACT. Some digital materials which are documentary of specific forms of social transgression comprise an apparent “market niche” for piracy. “Scandals” as unique commodities in the Philippines’s informal market for pirated disks are quite distinct from other digital entertainment, being originally candid/unstaged or “stolen”/taken without their subject’s knowledge and usually made to non-professional standards/ equipment. Enterprisingly put on the market by pirate-entrepreneurs because of apparent consumer-audience interest in the content, such unique “reality” goods became conveniently available through networks of digital piracy outlets. In the context of consumption of pirated goods, the article reads “scandals” as expressive of everyday critique and resistance. The niche market for “scandals” functions as alternative media as these digital goods inherently evade government and (formal) corporate control as sources of news and entertainment. Indicators of the significance of “scandal” in the informal economy and the meaningful convergence between its piracy and consumer- audience demand are examined ethnographically: their translation into commodities through packaging, the range of sites for consumers to access “scandals,” pirate- entrepreneurs’ sales strategies and standards, and how the market behavior of these “scandals” apparently responded to the unfolding of the social scandals in real time as current events—events that themselves were influenced by the popular circulation and piracy of these commodities. Three cases that took place between 2005–2009—“Hello Garci,” the “Kat/Kho sex scandals,” and the “Maguindanao massacre” DVD—serve as diverse examples, each with their own issues of authenticity, morality, and social effects consequent to piracy and consumption.

  • Chapter 3 Principles, Materials and Methods Used When Reconstructing
    ‘Under the shade I flourish’: An environmental history of northern Belize over the last three thousand five hundred years Elizabeth Anne Cecilia Rushton BMus BSc MSc Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2014 ABSTRACT Environmental histories are multi-dimensional accounts of human interaction with the environment over time. They observe how and when the environment changes (material environmental histories), and the effects of human activities upon the environment (political environmental histories). Environmental histories also consider the thoughts and feelings that humans have had towards the environment (cultural/ intellectual environmental histories). Using the methodological framework of environmental history this research, located in sub-tropical northern Belize, brings together palaeoecological records (pollen and charcoal) with archival documentary sources. This has created an interdisciplinary account which considers how the vegetation of northern Belize has changed over the last 3,500 years and, in particular, how forest resources have been used during the British Colonial period (c. AD 1800 – 1950). The palaeoecological records are derived from lake sediment cores extracted from the New River Lagoon, adjacent to the archaeological site of Lamanai. For over 3,000 years Lamanai was a Maya settlement, and then, more recently, the site of two 16th century Spanish churches and a 19th century British sugar mill. The British archival records emanate from a wide variety of sources including: 19th century import and export records, 19th century missionary letters and 19th and 20th century meteorological records and newspaper articles. The integration of these two types of record has established a temporal range of 1500 BC to the present.
