The volume “Assembling Exclusive Expertise: Knowledge, Ignorance and Conflict Resolution in the Global South” edited by Anna Leander and Ole Waever is now published. The book rethinks the status and role of expert knowledge in conflict resolution through a range of case studies. In my chapter in the book I revisit my trajectory as piracy expert and how the demands for expertise in the counter-piracy field has been changing. Contact me for a soft copy of the chapter.
