Description: International smuggling has exploded, deepening and accelerating the collaboration of transnational organized crime and terrorist groups. Vanessa Neumann, an expert on dismantling illicit trade, explains how purchasing illegal goods translates to supporting organized crime and terrorists. Neumann leads the reader through a variety of cases, both by geography and by industry (selecting industries where illicit trade is generally poorly understood), before extracting lessons learned into some policy recommendations that we can all embrace.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages [277]-296) and index.
