In September 2011 piracy-studies.org organized a one day research workshop on contemporary maritime piracy at the Greenwich Maritime Institute in London. The core theme of the workshop was the question which distinct contributions different academic disciplines can make to understand the phenomenon of contemporary maritime piracy and to assist in developing innovative policy solutions to the problem. So far piracy has often been approach as either a legal problem or as a military-tactical problem. Piracy is however a “wicked problem”. To be mastered wicked problems demand to utilize all available forms of knowledge. It is important to think through what different disciplinary knowledge, including but not limited to economics, computer sciences, history, anthropology, criminology, area studies, political science and legal studies, can contribute to understand and address piracy.
