The working plan of the research project is made up of three interconnected work packages (WP), for which the partner institutes will contribute according to their specific professional perspective: WP 1 will serve to objectify the insecurity-situation, WP 2 will identify subjective perceptions of insecurity, and WP 3 will develop non-military courses of actions, aimed at protecting maritime trade against piracy and terrorism. In addition, an independent cross-sectional research module (WP 4) will form the political-science-superstructure for the joint research project as an empirical study to check and further develop the concept of non-military “Security Governance”.
