While piracy today is more geographically confined than it was centuries ago-and often tied to large criminal syndicates-it still seems to be driven by greed and grievance. Learn about the socioeconomic forces that continue to perpetuate piracy off the coast of Somalia, in the Straits of Malacca and Gulf of Guinea, and in other locations around the world.
