Maritime Security in Africa – Dr. Raymond Gilpin
Channel: Africa Center for Strategic Studies
Date: 2019-07-01

The responsibility to protect a country's territorial integrity does not extend only to the land, but also to a country's territorial waters. Thus, thinking strategically about securing territorial integrity must incorporate a strategy for maritime security. The failure to do so, which is uncommon, has been called "sea blindness".

Dr. Raymond Gilpin explains the profound importance of maritime security for all African countries (even the landlocked ones), discusses the colonial legacy of governance that resulted in neglect of the maritime domain, and walks through several key elements of a maritime security strategy.
