Crime, Security and Global Politics: An Introduction to Global Crime Governance

Since the 1990s, global crime has come to be seen as an increasingly important security threat on the agenda of many states worldwide, and its control and governance the subject of growing multilateral cooperation between them.

This authoritative new text provides a uniquely broad-ranging and in-depth but accessible introduction to all major aspects of global criminal activities, the various actors and regimes involved in countering them, and the theoretical concepts from a range of disciplines that can help understand contemporary global crime governance.
