Alumni Publication: "Ship hijacking reveals Bangladesh’s maritime vulnerabilities" by Shafqat Munir
On 14 March 2024, The Daily Star published NESA Center alum Shafqat Munir's latest Op-Ed, "Ship hijacking reveals Bangladesh’s maritime vulnerabilities."
"For Bangladesh, maritime security represents both a traditional and non-traditional security threat. As a coastal country, Bangladesh is heavily reliant on its water bodies, and thus a threat to its maritime security is a direct threat posed towards the country. At the same time, modern piracy has evolved into a more complex and organised form, exacerbating its threat to the country's security and economic stability," writes Munir.
