More than simply a study of the mafia, Alfredo Schulte-Bockholt's
work argues that collaboration between political science and
criminology is critical to understanding the real nature of
organized crime and its power. Schulte-Bockholt looks at specific
case studies from Asia, Latin America, and Europe as he develops a
theoretical discussion - drawing on the thought of Max Horkheimer,
Theodor Adorno, and Antonio Gramsci - of the intimate connections
between criminal groups and elite structures. Ranging from an
historical discussion of the world drug economy to an examination
of the evolution of organized crime in the former Soviet Union, the
book extends into a consideration of the possible future
development of organized crime in the age of advanced
globalization.
