The editor has compiled a collection of essays that provide an overview of the dark side of globalization and establish strong connections between organized crime and terrorist groups. The world carefully documents the extent of these transnational challenges - - ranging from nacro-terrorism to human trafficking to small-arms trafficking. This book includes chapters that cover countries, regions and international issues. In addition, the US is treated both as a potential leader in attempts to control transnational crime and as a venue for it. Many will be surprised by the extent of human trafficking and forms of slavery within the US. Each transnational threat is discussed, the security implications, elucidated, and the successes and failures to control them explained.
