The document entitled 'A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower,' as released in October 2007 by the heads of the United States maritime services, envisions a cooperative effort by nations with maritime interests to 'police the global commons and suppress common threats.' The Global Maritime Partnership Initiative, or GMPI, is intended to play a major role in this effort as one embodiment of the cooperation envisioned. This paper seeks to examine the organizational structure of GMPI, compare GMPI with other existing organizational models of cooperation (e.g., United Nations, Combined Task Force 150, Proliferation Security Initiative), and through an analysis of illustrative examples of these models suggests several ways to actualize the benefits that are inherent in a truly cooperative effort toward maritime security.
