Description

More than simply a study of the mafia, Alfredo Schulte-Bockholt's work argues that collaboration between political science and criminology is critical to understanding the real nature of organized crime and its power. Schulte-Bockholt looks at specific case studies from Asia, Latin America, and Europe as he develops a theoretical discussion-drawing on the thought of Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Antonio Gramsci-of the intimate connections between criminal groups and elite structures. Ranging from an historical discussion of the world drug economy to an examination of the evolution of organized crime in the former Soviet Union, the book extends into a consideration of the possible future development of organized crime in the age of advanced globalization.

About the Author
Alfredo Schulte-Bockholt is Assistant Professor of Criminology at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Reviews
For years I have known, followed and much admired Alfredo's frontline reporting on drug wars, especially those in and around the Andes against coca. He has found and well documented a heart of darkness in his and my field, criminal justice or criminology, globally. Every student of crime and criminal justice should know what he reports in this enormously important report on organized crime and corruption in the Americas. -- Hal Pepinsky, Professor of Criminal Justice, Indiana University, Bloomington, and Walden University

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
