The course aims to introduce the subject of transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) as a threat to national and international security. The course will discuss the history of organized crime (including the Mafia, the Yakuza, the Triades, and American gangsterism), its main characteristics, how it differs from "ordinary" crime, and how it has changed in the decades after the Second World War. The focus will be on the new organized crime, its main business activities (arms-, drug-, and human-trafficking; corporate fraud; cyber crime; and terrorism) and on what kind of challenges these organizations pose to states and to international security, in particular with regard to organized-crime-related violence, the growing global shadow economy, and the problem of political corruption. The final part of the course will explore the various options of combating TCOs, for example legislative and law enforcement measures, the role of intelligence and covert action, military intervention and international cooperation in tackling money laundering, and in legal prosecution.
