ABSTRACT Much of the subsea cable network, which carries the vast majority of global internet traffic, is developed, owned, and operated by private corporations. In an era of growing global tensions, states have come to view these cables as critical to their interests. The article addresses the disconnect between statecraft‐centric explanations and the

Weaponising the Supply Chain: Yemen's Blockade and the Contradictions of Maritime Logistics Capital
Abstract This paper examines the 2023–2025 naval blockade imposed by Yemen in the Red Sea. It argues that the blockade's success in disrupting global trade stemmed from the potent confluence of asymmetric military tactics and the structural vulnerabilities inherent within global maritime logistics capitalism.
