Abstract

Since 2008, due to surge in maritime piracy along its coasts, Somalia has attracted considerable international attention. In this context, the article apart from examining the reasons for the outbreak of piracy in the region also attempts to understand the dynamics of Somalia piracy. The dramatic rise in Somalia pirate attacks forced the international community to adopt various counter-piracy measures in which India also played a crucial role. This article reviews the international and Indian responses to curb this menace. However, the limitations associated with the international community in this initiative cannot be ignored.
