Martin Murphy, Senior Fellow

Dr. Martin Murphy is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. His research interests are maritime irregular warfare, NATO, and emerging Russian threats. In addition to these topical areas of interest, he will oversee the CSBA’s 20XX future warfare program.

He is the author of Small Boats, Weak States, Dirty Money, a major study of criminal and political disorder at sea which will be published by Columbia University Press in Fall 2008, and Contemporary Piracy and Maritime Terrorism, an Adelphi Paper published by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in 2007. He has chapters forthcoming on naval support for counter-insurgency operations, the linkages between piracy and state weakness in Somalia, and maritime domain awareness. In the last year he has published a chapter on ‘Piracy and the Law of the Sea’ and two papers, ‘The Blue, Green and Brown: Insurgency and Counterinsurgency on the Water’ in Contemporary Security Policy and ‘Suppression of Piracy and Maritime Terrorism: A Suitable Role for the Navy?’ in Naval War College Review, which was recognised with a literary award from the Surface Navy Association. Previously he has written on naval special forces, littoral warfare, the maritime terrorist threat, public-private security cooperation and the marine insurance industry for the Jebsen Center for Counter-terrorism Studies, Armed Forces Journal, Jane’s Intelligence Review and Maritime Studies. He has advised the UK Ministry of Defence on maritime irregular warfare and related criminal activity at sea.

Dr. Murphy holds a BA with Honours from the University of Wales, and Masters (with distinction) and doctoral degrees in strategic studies from the University of Reading. He is an Associate Fellow of the Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies at King’s College, London.
