From human trafficking to smuggling small arms to looting
antiquities, illicit trade poses significant threats to
international order. So why is it difficult to establish
international cooperation against illicit trade? Governing Guns,
Preventing Plunder offers a novel, thought-provoking answer to this
crucial question. Conventional wisdom holds that powerful criminal
groups obstruct efforts to suppress illicit trade. In contrast,
Asif Efrat explains how legitimate actors, such as arms
manufacturers or museums that acquire and display looted
antiquities, often act to hinder policing efforts. However, such
efforts to evade regulation often fuel intense political conflicts
between governments that demand action against illicit trade and
others that are reluctant to cooperate. The book offers a framework
for understanding the domestic origins of this conflict-and how the
distribution of power shapes the conflict's outcome. Through this
framework, Efrat explains why the interests of governments vary
across countries, trades, and time. In a fascinating empirical
analysis, he solves a variety of puzzles: Why is the international
regulation of small arms much weaker than international drug
control? What led the United States and Britain to oppose the
efforts against plunder of antiquities and why did they ultimately
join these efforts? How did American pressure motivate Israel to
tackle sex trafficking? Efrat's findings will change the way we
think about illicit trade, offering valuable insights for scholars,
activists, and policymakers.
