The ocean covers 70 per cent of our planet. It is the world's largest infrastructure and its most dangerous blind spot. Around 90 per cent of global trade crosses its surface; beneath it lies the nervous system of our digital civilisation. Geopolitical ambitions, competition for resources and cyberattacks collide with the realities of climate change. Strategic chokepoints, from the GIUK Gap to the South China Sea, shape supply chains and global stability.
Viewing the ocean through three lenses - depth, shadow and code - Dark Sea deciphers maritime geopolitics from the North Atlantic to the Indo-Pacific: shadow fleets, undersea cables, raw materials and maritime security. Claude Piel coins "Dark Sea" as a counterpart to the darknet: a state of opacity in which control slips away and the law of the strongest prevails. Through the "Blue Pact for the Ocean", the book shows how innovation, social justice and new standards in international law can help us reclaim sovereignty over the foundations of our lives. With a foreword by H.E. Prof. Dr. Heinrich Kreft.
