Based upon fieldwork including interviews with scores of informants - smugglers, victims, power elites, and profiteers who populate economic war zones in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the US, this title shows the sum total of extralegal activities as representing a significant part of the world's economy.
Based upon extraordinary fieldwork including interviews with scores of informants - smugglers, victims, power elites, and profiteers who populate economic war zones in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the U.S. - this compelling investigation of crime, money, and power shows the sum total of extralegal activities as representing a significant part of the world's economy, and provides a new framework for understanding 21st century economics and economic power. With a new preface placing Global Outlaws in the context of increasingly globalized crime, including Internet crime, author Carolyn Nordstrom powerfully reveals the illusions and realities of security in all areas of transport and trade, and illuminates many of the difficult ethical problems these extralegal activities pose.
