This book is a comparative study of organized crime groups from
five different parts of the world: Europe; North America; Central
America/South America/Caribbean basin; Africa; and Asia/Western
Pacific. Each part contains two case studies and a shorter essay, a
vignette. From Europe the case studies focus on the Italian mafias
and the Russian mafia; the vignette, on the Albanian mafia. From
North America the case studies highlight the US Mafia and the
Mexican drug cartels; the vignette, organized crime in Canada. From
Central America/South America/Caribbean basin the case studies
concentrate on the Colombian drug cartels and gangs of the
Caribbean; the vignette, on organized crime in Cuba. From Africa
the case studies examine resource wars and Somali piracy; the
vignette, relations among international drugs trafficking,
organized crime, and terrorism in North and West Africa. And from
Asia/Western Pacific the case studies spotlight the Chinese Triads
and Japanese Yakuza; the vignette, relations among international
drugs trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism in Afghanistan.
Written in non-specialist language, An Economic History of
Organized Crime provides an original overview of a crucial problem
of our times: the growing scourge of global organized crime. This
book can be read with profit by the general public, but it also has
value for academic specialists and professionals in law
enforcement.
