Summary

Introduction -- Part I. The logic of corruption, crime, and terrorism: 1. Crime and corruption behind the mass attacks ; 2. Corruption : an incubator of organized crime and terrorism ; 3. The evolution of organized crime and terrorism ; 4. Environments, global networks, and pipelines -- Part II. The diverse businesses of terrorism: 5. The business of terrorism and the criminal financing of terrorism ; 6. The drug trade : the profit center of criminals and terrorists ; 7. The less policed illicit trade: antiquities, counterfeits, and diverted products ; 8. Ultimate fears -- weapons of mass destruction and crime-terror connections -- Conclusion. "The entangled threat of crime, corruption, and terrorism now deserves high-level-policy attention because of its growth trajectory. Using lively case studies, this book analyzes the transformation of crime and terrorism and the business logic of terrorism. Louise I. Shelley concludes that corruption, crime, and terrorism will remain important security challenges in the twenty-first century as a result of economic and demographic inequalities in the world, the rise of ethnic and sectarian violence, climate change, the growth of technology, and the failure of nineteenth- and twentieth-century institutions to respond to these challenges when they emerged."
