Author Description

National Borders Are Permeable To All Types Of Illicit Action And Contraband Goods, Whether It Is Trafficking Humans, Body Parts, Digital Information, Drugs, Weapons, Or Money. Whilst Criminals Exist In A Borderless World Where Territorial Boundaries Allow Them To Manipulate Different Markets In Illicit Goods, The Authorities Who Pursue Them Can Remain Constrained Inside Their Own Jurisdictions. In A New Edition Of His Ground-breaking Work, Boister Examines How States Must Cooperate To Tackle Some Of The Greatest Security Threats In This Century So Far, Analyses To What Extent Vested Interests Have Determined The Course Of Global Policy And Law Enforcement, And Illustrates How Responding To Transnational Crime Itself Becomes A Form Of International Relations Which Reorders Global Political Power And Becomes, At Least In Part, An End In Itself.
