Underpinned by drug trafficking - the power base of organized crime, economic crime undermines the commercial effectiveness of the capital free-market, by shattering the integrity of financial institutions, commercial establishments and even governments. This white-collar crime is the inevitable concomitant of business, trade and commerce, and has long been an under-researched phenomenon. This study presents a detailed analysis of the variety of criminal activities covered by this blanket term. It then goes on to study the globalization of organized crime and its spread to the developing economies of the former Eastern Bloc countries and Third World nations, and its threat to a barrier-free Europe. The book also presents international best practice on the control of economic crime.
