CrimeTerror Alliances
and the State

This book examines the trans-border connections between militant and criminal networks and the relationship between these and the states in which they operate.

Unholy alliances is a term used to describe hybrid trans-border militant and criminal networks that pose serious threats to security in Europe and elsewhere. Identity networks provide the basis for militant organizations using violent strategies insurgency and terrorism for political objectives. To gain funds and weapons militant networks may establish criminal enterprises, or align with existing trans-border criminal and financial networks.

This book extends the concept of unholy alliances to include the trans-state criminal syndicates that arise in failed and dysfunctional states, exemplified by Serbia and Bulgaria during their post-Communist transitions. To deal with this complex and unconventional subject, the authors develop a theoretical framework that looks at four kinds of factors conditioning the interaction between the political and the criminal: trans-state identity networks, armed conflict, the balance of market opportunities and constraints, and the role of unstable and corrupt states. The volume also examines actors at two levels of analysis: the structure and activities of militant (and/or criminal) networks, and the policies of state actors that shape and reshape the interaction of opportunities and constraints.

This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism, insurgency, transnational crime, war and conflict studies, and IR in general.

Lyubov Grigorova Mincheva is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Sofia, Bulgaria. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and has published extensively in English and Bulgarian languages on ethnopolitics, spillover crisis, peacekeeping, crime, and terrorism. She is a member of the European Standing Group in International Relations.

Ted Robert Gurr is Distinguished University Professor, Emeritus, at the University of Maryland, USA. He founded and consults on the Minorities at Risk project at the Universitys Center for International Development and Conflict Management. Among his books are Why Men Rebel , Violence in America , and Peoples vs. States . He also established and coedits the biennial global report Peace and Conflict .

Both criminologists and political scientists have found it difficult to find adequate conceptual tools to address political crime and criminal politics. Here then, at long last, is a study that provides a sophisticated theoretical framework and new conceptual tools to understand the complex interaction between kleptocratic public officials, trans-border organized crime syndicates and identity-based international terrorist networks. It has been said that nothing is as practical as a good theory. In this sense, this path-breaking volume with its six in-depth case studies should be an eye-opener for national law enforcement agencies as well as Europol and Interpol.

Alex P. Schmid, Editor, Perspectives on Terrorism and Fellow, International Centre for Counter-Terrorism, The Hague, The Netherlands

This pathbreaking book by Gurr and Mincheva addresses one of the issues that transcends traditional academic disciplines cross-border networks of criminals and terrorists. With rich case study material from the Balkans, the Middle East, and North Africa, the authors explore the intersection of organized crime and terrorism with stunning insight. The book is a must-read for scholars of organized crime, terrorism, and money laundering, regardless of the disciplines with which they identify.

Peter Grabosky, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia

The academic disciplines of political science and criminology have long kept political and criminal issues in artificially isolated silos. Mincheva and Gurr break through these silos by examining the violent intersection of organized crime and terrorism. Using six carefully selected case studies they scrutinize the trans-border militant and criminal networks that currently pose a major security threat to many parts of the world. The result is an important look at how politics and crime sometimes bleed into each other.
