Since the end of the Cold War, transnational non-state forces have
been a major source of global instability, with many ominous and
disruptive flows of people, goods, and services moving readily
across international boundaries. And because these activities are
so multifaceted and so intertwined within the fabric of society,
they remain largely invisible until the intrusion is well-advanced
and difficult to reverse. Thus, the threat posed by transnational
organized crime ultimately undermines the "total security" of
countries--including the economic, cultural, and political
dimensions--and now presents an international security challenge of
staggering proportions.
Surprisingly, no single book so far has fully addressed the scale
of this threat to global stability from an "international security"
perspective. In an attempt to rectify that failure, "Dark Logic"
examines in depth when and how transnational organized crime is
likely to use corruption and violence to achieve its ends, and when
and how these criminal activities most affect individual and state
security. Even more important, it pinpoints when and how the
negative consequences of these tactics and activities can be most
successfully combated. In so doing it provides a unique lens for
analyzing today's global security dilemmas.
Given that the threat associated with transnational organized crime
can endanger all citizens--from policy makers and security analysts
to students, scholars, and the "man and woman on the street"--this
book is written in an intelligible and jargon-free style to make it
accessible to anyone interested in the ever-growing catalog of
threats to national and international security.
