- Ekaterina Stepanova
The relationship between political violence and organized crime or, more broadly, the illicit or informal economy is a vast subject. The focus here is on the comparative dynamics of armed conflict—one of the key forms of political violence—and criminal violence, exploring recent global trends in crime and criminal violence and presenting specific case studies of crime and criminal violence both in and beyond an armed conflict setting.
