摘要

These two books offer very different approaches to piracy and outlawed groups, and are aimed at quite different audiences. Persistent piracy is the more theoretical and academic. The book emanates from a conference jointly organised in 2012 by the Centre for Maritime Studies, Stockholm University, and the Swedish Institute of International Affairs in Stockholm. The editors have largely achieved a coherent volume by requesting that contributors focus on the characteristics of 'persistent piracy'. These they define as the existence of land bases where pirates can recoup, re-supply and from where they can launch attacks; access to markets where pirates can sell booty; pirate activity on a large-scale, often involving fleets and large numbers of people; the emergence of a fairly complex criminal organisation, with a command structure and a specialisation of tasks; the development, within a defined territory, of a relatively stable social and political order linked to piratical activities, or 'embryonic state-formation'; and, finally, 'persistence' itself, or evidence of predatory maritime activity over at least decades. In addition, the editors identify four types of behaviour that states have adopted towards piracy throughout global history: 'open sponsorship', which includes, for example, issuing licences to private prize-takers in wartime; 'tacit sponsorship', when a state tacitly supports piracy for political or economic goals; 'conditional acceptance', which is similar but involves the state wavering between supporting and counteracting piracy, or even doing both at the same time; and 'suppression' which is perhaps most easily identified if only because states tend to produce official histories in which they claim marked success in this respect.
