Global crime governance has emerged as an important component of
world politics. It is manifested in national and international
agendas, the proliferation of global regulations, growing
international budgets, and the enlarged mandates of international
organizations. As a result, the definition and prosecution of crime
is now increasingly homogenous, but it also shows variance: some
crime policies are institutionalized coherently or attached to
strong international organizations, while others are weak or
dispersed across different forums. Based on sociological
institutionalism, this book examines questions of structural
variance in the institutional design of global governance. It shows
that the interplay of strong actors and rationalization principles
lead to more coherent forms of global crime governance, while
normative arguments related to crime are more likely to result in
fragmented forms. In consequence - and contrary to many scholars'
assumptions - global crime governance is strongest in those areas
that are least attached to moral statements. The book develops a
theory of society and applies this framework to explaining the
sources and consequences of institutional design. Drawing on
qualitative and quantitative methods, the text analyzes the origins
of global regulations, how they are disseminated, and why
differences exist. The role of the United States in creating global
rules and disseminating them is emphasized. Readers interested in
international relations, global governance, globalization studies,
world society studies, and criminology will benefit from the
theoretical and empirical results of this book.
