Histories of Transnational Crime
Histories of Transnational Crime provides a broad,
historical framework for understanding the developments in research
of transnational crime over the centuries. This volume provides
examples of transnational crime, and places them in a broad
historical context, which has so far been missing from this field
of study. The contributions to this comprehensive volume explore
the causes and historical precursors of six main types of
transnational crime: -piracy -human smuggling -arms trafficking
-drug trafficking -art and antique trafficking -corporate crime.
The historical contributions demonstrate that transnational crime
is not a novel phenomenon of recent globalization and that, beyond
organized crime groups, powerful individuals, governments and
business corporations have been heavily involved. Through a
systematic historical and contextual analysis of these types of
transnational crime, the contributions to this volume provide a
fundamental understanding of why and how various forms of
transnational crime are still present in the contemporary world. In
the past two decades, the study of transnational crime has
developed from a subset of the study of organized crime to its own
recognized field of study, covering distinct societal threats and
requiring a particular approach.
