In a Distinguished Public Lecture held on 14 Jan 2025, Professor Geoffrey Till, Emeritus Professor of Maritime Studies and S. Rajaratnam Professor of Strategic Studies, explored the growing prevalence of Grey Zone operations at sea, which occur in the ambiguous space between peace and war. While these operations, as seen in conflicts like Ukraine and Gaza, are less dangerous than full-scale wars, they remain unpredictable and pose risks to global stability.
So how should they be managed? To what extent do they present an opportunity rather than just a threat?
