Geopolitics of the Illicit

This anthology examines different dimensions of illicit commodity flows and asks how they can be understood through a geographical lens that looks from the Global South to Europe. By applying a supply chain perspective, it generates insights into how illegal, grey and legal markets merge at certain points in the production chain. This volume seeks to promote a holistic view through a thick description of the specific flows and develops practical policy recommendations. It brings together contributions from authors from a wide range of backgrounds, including international scholars, journalists and specialists in both law enforcement and development cooperation. With contributions by Lorenzo Bagnoli, Stefan Bauchwitz, Dyhia Belhabib; Daniel Brombacher, Inga Carry, Peter Fabricius, Gerardo Damonte, Nhomsai Hagen, Cathrin Hauk, Lutz Heide, Philippe Le Billon, Günther Maihold, Fatjona Mejdini, Melanie Müller, Bettina Schorr, Jan Schubert, Ina Tessnow-von Wysocki, Leopold von Carlowitz and Judith Vorrath.
