| dc.description.abstract | This research evaluates the possibility of
an increase in maritime terrorist violence in
Southeast Asia, based on a recounting and analysis
of some of the most recent past incidents in these
waters. Through the research objective, it tries to
identify the challenges facing states in the region in
maritime terrorism and the emerging trends in
maritime terrorism. It also studies the emerging
terrorists in Southeast Asia and their potential.
Further, it pays particular attention to how geostrategic
issues in Southeast Asia are confronted.
The research was based on qualitative methodology,
and only secondary data were used. Secondary data
were collected by means of a literature review and
reference sources such as legislation, international
treaties, academic literature, newspaper articles and
sources. Maritime terrorism is seen as a critical
threat to maritime safety in Southeast Asia.
According to research, maritime security challenges
in Southeast Asia are relatively high compared to
other Asian regions, and maritime terrorism has
grown significantly. Terrorist attacks in the
maritime domain are worrisome because of their
potential flow on trade effects. In South-East Asia,
maritime terrorism by vile non-state actors takes
place primarily in the Sulus and Celebes seas, with
the Abu Sayyaf group considered the main author. | en_US |
