231033 Experiences of transnational organized crime in local settings in the Americas (S) (SoSe 2021)
Contents, comment
-
Empirical case studies of transnational organized crime highlight the interconnections with related research interests such as migration, corruption, and violence. We focus on studies of Mexico, Colombia, United States, etc. to stress linkages to specific socio-political contexts of recent years. The concept of transnational organized crime is also examined for its content of asymmetrical power relations, with a particular effort to suggest a postcolonial perspective on organized crime.
