About this book

In contrast to a globalizing approach to 'transnational organized crime,' this edited volume studies socio-historical environments in which mafia-esque violence has found a fertile ground for growth and development within the political arena.

Reviews

"This is just the kind of book that is presently needed. Ithas aprecise focus: delinquency and the power of the state. It transcends ethnocentricitythrough its transnational approach and breaks away from the single discipline perspective by bringing together different methods of analysis. Aseminal book on an important subject." - Jean-Paul Brodeur, Director, International Centre for Comparative Criminology, Université de Montréal
