Maritime Security in an Age of Uncertainty

In an era of increased global uncertainty, maritime security is threatened by rising geopolitical tensions, a shifting geoeconomic landscape, and emerging technological dangers. Hostile actors increasingly have the capability to target critical undersea critical infrastructure—such as communications cables—through sabotage and coercion, rendering much of the hardware foundational to daily life, along with important military systems, vulnerable. In addition to threats, assigning attribution and combating misinformation have become more challenging.

In response to these complexities, Perry World House convened experts, scholars, and practitioners for a conference on October 29-30, 2024. The report and thought pieces from this convening discuss the policy suggestions from conference participants.

This workshop was made possible in part by Carnegie Corporation of New York.
