Les putschistes qui ont renversé le président Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta le 18 août 2020 ont affirmé dès les premiers jours qu’ils ne remettraient pas en question les ententes et les priorités internationales du Mali. Même si le coup d’État souligne l’échec de leur approche, les Casques bleus de l’ONU et les militaires français de l’opération Barkhane sont décrits comme des partenaires pour la stabilité du pays. La junte montre ainsi sa capacité à accepter les règles du jeu, tout en s’appuyant sur une logique militaire qui lui permet de justifier le coup d’État.

The resurgent interest in the oceans as part of the maritime security, blue economy and marine conservation agenda, has brought the harm caused by different crimes at sea to the forefront of the international agenda.

Modern piracy and its impact on international transport, regional ocean economies and the seafaring profession, as well as the ways that illegal fishing undermines sustainable resource management and conservation efforts stand paradigmatically for this new attention.

The new attention to crime at sea, has so far, however, not led to an integrated agenda. Crimes are interpreted in isolation from each other and there is a lack of understanding of the oceans as one integrated space in need of protection from those harms.

In this talk, Christian and Tim will:

  • introduce the agenda of blue criminology as a way to respond to this ocean challenge.
  • Show how the concept of blue crime provides a way of how to rethink the linkages between different manifestations of crime at sea.
  • sketch the contours of blue criminology and how it provides new insights for the practical challenges of protecting the oceans
