Dr. Ioannis Chapsos is CTPSR/Coventry University’s Research Lead in Maritime Security. His aim is to better understand the land-sea nexus in the context of international security, feed into sustainable policy responses and build maritime security capacities wherever required. He is focused both on the traditional state-centric concept and the contemporary human security approach as well as the increasing involvement of non-state actors in international security as victims, perpetrators and security providers..
His current research is focused on the comprehensive approach to maritime security. He works in a number of research projects where he investigates the links between illegal (IUU) fishing and transnational organised maritime crime in SE Asia (Indonesia) and the respective implications on coastal communities and sustainable development. His research interests also encompass the global trend of privatisation of maritime security and the potential implications in international security.
Ioannis is a Captain (ret) of the Hellenic Navy, former lecturer on international security and strategy at the Hellenic Supreme Joint War College / Security and Strategy Department.
