海上安全是国际关系的最新流行语之一。主要行为体已开始将海上安全纳入其任务范围，或以此方式重新构建其工作。海上安全这个术语引起人们对新挑战的关注，并为应对这些挑战争取支持。然而，国际社会尚未就海上安全的定义达成共识。在缺乏共识的情况下，流行语允许国际间协调行动。然而，这些也面临着分歧和政治冲突被掩盖的持续风险。由于一劳永逸地定义海上安全的前景渺茫，因此需要一个能够识别共同点和分歧的框架。本文提出了三个这样的框架。海上安全首先可以通过其与其他概念的关系来理解，例如海上安全、海上力量、蓝色经济和复原力。其次，安全化框架允许研究海上威胁是如何产生的以及这些威胁带来哪些不同的政治主张，以揭示政治利益和不同的意识形态。第三，安全实践理论可以研究参与者在声称加强海上安全时实际做了什么。这些框架一起可以绘制海上安全图。 (C) 2014 年作者。由 Elsevier Ltd 出版。这是一篇基于 CC BY 许可证 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) 的开放获取文章。
Maritime security is one of the latest buzzwords of international relations. Major actors have started to include maritime security in their mandate or reframed their work in such terms. Maritime security is a term that draws attention to new challenges and rallies support for tackling these. Yet, no international consensus over the definition of maritime security has emerged. Buzzwords allow for the international coordination of actions, in the absence of consensus. These, however, also face the constant risk that disagreements and political conflict are camouflaged. Since there are little prospects of defining maritime security once and for all, frameworks by which one can identify commonalities and disagreements are needed. This article proposes three of such frameworks. Maritime security can first be understood in a matrix of its relation to other concepts, such as marine safety, seapower, blue economy and resilience. Second, the securitization framework allows to study how maritime threats are made and which divergent political claims these entail in order to uncover political interests and divergent ideologies. Third, security practice theory enables the study of what actors actually do when they claim to enhance maritime security. Together these frameworks allow for the mapping of maritime security.
