Geopolitics is an increasingly important tool to understand
national and international relations. This book unravels how
organized crime is not just a marginal problem but part of a bigger
geopolitical and asymmetrical warfare strategy. It seeks to
establish a direct relationship between Nation States and organized
crime groups. Many States have been using criminal and terrorist
organizations as a policy for issues of national sovereignty or as
a tool to strengthen a nation's geopolitical position. This book
demonstrates how national states are utilizing criminal
organizations in covert operations and "dirty jobs" such as
espionage, proxy war, arms trafficking and sabotage. Examples from
the United States, China and the Soviet Union are explored,
providing both an historical and contemporary analysis, from World
War II through to the Cold War and to the present day. The book
brings together perspectives from international relations and
criminology drawing on insights from a variety of sources,
including public documents and interviews.
