Fighting Organized Crime in Southeast Europe

In recent years organized crime has become endemic in the countries of Southeast Europe, and in so doing it has become perhaps the greatest impediment to the development of the area. This book recognizes that we are now involved in an urgent debate into how to successfully tackle it. Drawing together leading academics in the field, this collection of essays makes a thorough and valuable contribution to the debate. The discussions range over national and regional policies, the West European dimension of the phenomenon, and the less often discussed role that the media and civil society can play in the battle against organized crime.

This is a special issue of the Journal of Southeast European and Black Sea Studies.

Ekavi Athanassopoulou is a Senior Research Fellow of the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy, Athens.

In the summer of 2002 ELIAMEP launched this project with the generous support of the German Marshall Fund of the United States. The initiative for this project derived from the understanding that organized crime and its interelated activities has emerged as the most serious security issue in southeast Europe, undermining stability and the rule of law both essential for the gradual integration of the region with the transatlantic community.

Within the framework of this project ELIAMEP organizes two workshops a year, seeking thus to establish a regular forum for dialogue and for building mutual understanding and a consensus of approach between influential actors from the United States, the EU and southeast Europe regarding organized crime, terrorism and other non-traditional, interrelated security challenges in the region.
