II - Examples

Examples of fuzzy groups can come from many different fields.

. Older or precursory: based on a guerrilla and an ideology.
Example the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party)
. The menace can also be completely informal, for instance the increase of maritime piracy.

Indeed, there is no clearer symptom of world disorder than piracy. Nothing new as it existed even at the time of Roman empire but was almost stopped when nation states decided some common rules in the nineteen century.


In fact there are very few more vivid criminal forms today. According to the International Maritime Bureau, there were 469 known attacks against ships in the year 2000 - 5 times more than in 1995. In 2000 also, 72 sailors were slaughtered - versus 3 in 1999. One must know that 90 % of international freight is transported by ships. Half of this traffic uses the Asian seas, that are today almost in an anarchistic state. It is indeed between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean that three quarters of the 469 attacks of 2000 happened.
