About
Dr. Sofia Galani is a leading scholar in the law of the sea and maritime security, whose work critically examines the intersection of legal frameworks and contemporary security challenges. Her most-cited publication, *Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea: Help or Hindrance?* (2020), has garnered significant attention for its incisive analysis of how the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) both enables and constrains responses to modern threats. In this work, Dr. Galani explores the growing activities of state and non-state actors at sea, from piracy to illegal fishing, and questions whether the existing legal order is equipped to address these evolving dangers. Her research has been instrumental in highlighting the gaps and ambiguities in international law, pushing for a more adaptive and pragmatic approach to ocean governance. With a citation count that underscores her influence, Dr. Galani’s contributions are essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and students seeking to understand the complex dynamics of maritime security in the 21st century. Her work continues to shape debates on how to balance state sovereignty with collective security at sea.
