Routledge Menace to Society: Routledge Political-Criminal Collaboration

Explore the dangerous reality of the political-criminal nexus (PCN) with Menace to Society. This book examines how the collaboration between the political establishment and the criminal underworld creates a significant threat to global quality of life. As these active partnerships undermine the rule of law, human rights, and economic development, understanding their impact becomes vital for global security. This work focuses on the risks faced by states in transition, where these relationships are often most prevalent. While the magnitude of the threat is vast, there has been little research into the specific security risks posed by these networks or the reasons why these political-criminal relationships are formed and maintained. This book serves as the first attempt to develop an analysis of these complex connections, providing necessary insights for those studying sociology, law, and international security.
