Concerns over the changing nature of gangs and cartels and their
relationships to states in the late 20th and early 21st centuries
has resulted in the emergence of a scholarly body of work focused
on their national security threat potentials. This body of work,
utilizing the third generation gangs and third phase cartel
typologies, represents an alternative to traditional gang and
organized crime research and one that is increasingly influencing
the US defense community. Rather than being viewed only as
misguided youth and opportunistic criminals or, in their mature
forms, as criminal organizations with no broader social or
political agendas, more evolved gangs and cartels, are instead seen
as developing political, mercenary, and state-challenging
capacities. This evolutionary process has emerged due to the
growing illicit economy and other unintended consequences of
globalization. This important anthology of writings by Robert J.
Bunker and John P. Sullivan draws upon a collection of their works
from the mid-1990s to the present with the addition of new essays
written specifically for this publication. The work will be of
great interest to academics and students in the fields of political
science and criminal justice and to military, law enforcement, and
governmental professionals and policy makers. This book is a
collection of new and previously published works from a variety of
publications, a full list of which is on the Citation Information
page.
