Despite a rapidly changing economic and legal landscape, Italian
mafias remain prominent actors in the global criminal underworld.
This book provides an extensive and up-to-date view of how they
adapt to shifting economic opportunities and intensifying legal and
civic backlash. Surveying the main Italian mafias active today -
Cosa Nostra, the 'Ndrangheta, the Camorra and the Sacra Corona
Unita - the contributors provide a broad overview of key themes and
research findings, offering new theoretical and methodological
lenses for analysing how Italy's four native mafias have adapted to
recent challenges. Investigating their global and national impact,
this book analyses new insights into the operations and
trajectories of Italian mafias in the 21st century. Employing fresh
empirical material, this book is essential reading for students of
Italian studies at all levels, as well as those of criminology,
security, political science, sociology and organised crime studies.
Policy-makers and practitioners tackling organised crime will also
benefit from this book's critical insight into the history,
operation and pathways of Italian mafias today. Contributors
