Counter-Piracy Cooperation Network Analysis from 2013 to 2024

From 2013 to 2024, this study constructs a dynamic dual-layer network of international counter-piracy cooperation. The network, built by Jiaqi Li from official reports and organizational records, models bilateral and institutional co-membership layers to analyze structural evolution and key hubs.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the temporal evolution of international cooperation networks based on the described dynamic dual-layer framework.
• Identifying key hub countries and structural vulnerabilities based on cross-layer and intra-layer centrality metrics.
• Comparing cooperation models (e.g., balanced vs. diplomacy-driven) between countries like the United States, China, and Japan as mentioned in the description.
• Studying the 'Matthew Effect' and multipolarity trends in global maritime governance networks.

Strengths

• Covers a 12-year time range from 2013 to 2024.
• Built from multiple source types including official reports, joint statements, and organizational records.
• Models a dual-layer network structure to capture both vertical and horizontal ties.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 7.2 MB DOCX, which may require extraction of underlying data.
