The Pirate Economy

The Somalian pirates, who have been capturing headlines as well as ships, seem to appear out of nowhere in small boats and then disappear with their prizes, but go deeper to understand what's happening off the Horn of Africa . The same Internet that gives us Twitter also makes it easier to find out what's behind the headlines. You can goggle or sign up for free news alerts from magazines like Foreign Policy , which just posted The Pirate Economy.

The recently relaunched daily online magazine, an off-shoot of the print magazine founded in 1970 by Samuel Huntington and Warren Demian Manshelis, is a good place to go for international news and analysis.
