Singapore workshop

In May 2023, Blue Security brought together seven early career researchers (ECRs) from Southeast Asia to assess the region maritime governance capacity. In Singapore, participants presented their research and received feedback from regional maritime security experts.

The ECRs were mentored by regional experts including John Bradford, Bec Strating, Peter Dean, Troy Lee-Brown, Blake Herzinger and Tara Davenport. ECRs participated and attended a roundtable on maritime security challenges in Southeast Asia at the National University of Singapore’s Centre for International Law, which was in collaboration with Blue Security.

The ECR workshops strengthen and support regional research collaboration amongst next-generation maritime scholars, creating a network of maritime security scholars between Australia and Southeast Asia.

The papers in this edition of Maritime Affairs were published online with the Center for Strategic & International Studies’ Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI), the premier online space for regional maritime security research and analysis.

Blue Security would like to thank the Singapore mentors and team at AMTI for their feedback and contribution to this series.
