""This book explores contemporary maritime piracy in Southeast Asia, demonstrating the utility of using historical context in developing policy approaches that will address the roots of this resurgent phenomenon. The depth and breadth of historical piracy help highlight causative factors of contemporary piracy, which are immersed in the socio-cultural matrix of maritime-oriented peoples to whom piracy is still a thinkable option. The threats to life and property posed by piracy are relatively low, but significant given the strategic nature of these waterways that link the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and because piracy is emblematic of broader issues of weak state control in the littoral states of the region. Maritime piracy will never be completely eliminated, but with a progressive economic and political agenda aimed at changing the environment from which piracy is emerging, it could once again become the exception rather than the rule." -- Back cover."

Aktifitas mereka menimbulkan keresahan dan kekacauan dalam bidang ekonomi, baik di Korea maupun di Cina. Kondisi ini menyebabkan Korea dan Cina beberapa kali mengirim utusan ke Jepang untuk mengatasi keberadaan Wakō, namun baru mendapat perhatian serius setelah Istana Utara dan Istana Selatan di Jepang berhasil disatukan, khususnya setelah Ashikaga Yoshimitsu memutuskan untuk berdagang secara resmi dengan pemerintah Ming di Cina pada tahun 1401. Tindakan kriminal para bajak laut ini dipicu oleh masalah ekonomi. Musim panas pada tahun 1222 menyebabkan kekeringan melanda daerah asal mereka di Tsushima, Iki, Goto dan Matsura.
