I finished reading your essay. Good job
I disagree with the conclusion a little bit. Part of your conclusion indicates that states should contribute to the economic development of pirate states like Somalia, even though this has been costly and ultimately ineffective in the past. Even though you are quite correct in pointing out the prominence of economic hardships as a cause of piracy, the solution is not ideal, imo. Personally, I'd prefer to see nations develop regulations permitting the arming of merchant ships and the use of mercenary marines.
Other than that, I really enjoyed and essentially agreed with the whole thing. It looks like you put a lot of work in and I'm sure you will recieve high marks. If you don't mind I'd like to save it as a resource for future citeable reference.
