Abstract
This thesis will first be examining the geopolitics of Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, looking into the history of the Strait of Malacca, and the different priorities each country has, establishing the reasons for piracy based on the circumstances of the area. The thesis will then look at the policies that have been implemented in the Strait, either by the littoral or external states, and examine the effectiveness of policies based on the number of piracy incidents and their seriousness from 2000-2019. The final part will be using data collected during a series of interviews and questionnaires, looking at the impact that piracy has had within companies in Multinational Corporations (MNCs) within Global Financial Centres.
There is little research on the impacts of piracy, most research tends to give an estimated overall cost. My research will take a different approach to the term ‘impact’, looking at marine business personnel within companies in Global Financial Centres, and establishing how they have been impacted through piracy in the Strait of Malacca, and their thoughts and opinions on matters related to piracy and the impact on their role within a business, rather than just focussing on piracy in terms of general large monetary terms.
