520 Peace operations are increasingly on the front line in the
international community's fight against organized crime;
this book explores how, in some cases, peace operations
and organized crime are clear enemies, while in others,
they may become tacit allies. The threat posed by
organized crime to international and human security has
become a matter of considerable strategic concern for
national and international decision-makers, so it is
somewhat surprising how little thought has been devoted to
addressing the complex relationship between organized
crime and peace operations. This volume addresses this gap,
questioning the emerging orthodoxy that portrays organized
crime as an external threat to the liberal peace
championed by western and allied states and delivered
through peace operations. Based upon a series of case
studies it concludes that organized crime is both a
potential enemy and a potential ally of peace operations,
and it argues for the need to distinguish between
strategies to contain organized crime and strategies to
transform the political economies in which it flourishes.
The editors argue for the development of intelligent,
transnational, and transitional law enforcement that can
make the most of organized crime as a potential ally for
transforming political economies, while at the same time
containing the threat it presents as an enemy to building
effective and responsible states. The book will be of
great interest to students of peacebuilding, peace and
conflict studies, organised crime, Security Studies and IR
in general
