Organized Crime in the 21st Century
This edited volume brings together the most recent research about various aspects of organized crime and the responses that have developed worldwide as a result to contain serious criminal acts. This book focuses particularly on the way criminal networking and illegal markets have developed during the first two decades of the 21st century. It examines how these developments have influenced the motivations and opportunities to commit organized crime. The volume not only focuses on illegal activities in illegal markets, such as drug and human trafficking, but also addresses organized crime and deviance in various legitimate industries. The contributions were presented at seminars of the Centre for Information and Research on Organized Crime (CIROC), and will be of particular interest to organized crime scholars and researchers, as well as advanced students of criminology across the world.
Support in Times of No Support
In the summer of 2018, the authors of the book stood in the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. They marvelled at the Foucault pendulum, which made its circular movements on a long rope under the dome. Like Casaubon in Umberto Eco's book The Foucault Pendulum, the authors were amazed and wondered what could be at the ideal end of the thread pendulum. The fixed point that could give us support and security in an uncertain world and difficult times? What uncertainties, what times or even what threats are we actually talking about? Where can we find the fixed points, the safe spaces of our lives? This book deals with these and other questions. The authors found inspiration for the book in Umberto Eco. And so it is also a homage to Eco.
Fortress Europe?
An unprecedented number of people is currently on the move seeking refuge in Europe. Large parts of European societies respond with anxiety and mistrust to the influx of people. Nationalist, anti-migrant parties from Slovakia over Germany to the UK have gained increasing support among the electorate and challenge the political mainstream. Europe is struggling how to respond. While the search for solutions is ongoing one pattern seems to be emerging: Fortress Europe is in the making. Unfortunately, few of these discussions and measures consider the structural root causes and dynamics of migration, the motives of migrants or societal challenges more thoroughly. This book seeks to address this deficit. Taking migration and asylum policies as a starting point, it analyses the various dimensions underpinning migration. In doing so, it identifies why receiving countries are in many ways part of the problem. To eschew an overtly Euro-centric perspective and stimulate a debate between science and politics, it contains contributions by academics and practitioners alike from both shores of the Mediterranean.

Public Order Policing
Successful public order management is critical to upholding democracy and maintaining the rule of law. Negative police-public interactions during assemblies can impact the safety and well-being of citizens and officers, as well as local and international perceptions of police legitimacy. As observed during events across the world, including assemblies in the U.S., Myanmar, Belarus, Russia, and elsewhere, police mismanagement of mass demonstrations often instigates crowd violence and other harmful behaviors. The causes of violence at assemblies are complex and multi-faceted. Failure to understand crowd dynamics that lead to violence limits police effectiveness and contributes to poor officer ...

Der tiefe Fall des Westens und die bitteren Tränen Europas
Die westliche Welt ist Veränderungen ausgesetzt, die zu ihrem Niedergang und dem Verlust der Zweitausendjährigen Herrschaft über den Rest der Welt führen wird. Diese Entwicklungen und die darauf basierende Analyse des Autors werden in dem mehrteiligen Buch über den tiefen Fall des Westens beschrieben. Der Autor sieht, dass Dreiviertel der Welt nicht mehr bereit ist, die Hegemonie des weißen Mannes und des Westens weiter hinzunehmen. Der wirtschaftliche und weltpolitische Aufstieg verschiedener Staaten, die sich zum Bund der BRICS-Staaten zusammengeschlossen haben und von verschiedenen Schwellenstaaten sowie das Erstarken der islamischen Welt begünstigt deren Forderung, die ungleiche V...
Alternative für Deutschland: The AfD
Right-wing populism has been on the rise in Europe and elsewhere. Germanys foremost populist party is called Alternative for Germany (AfD). Founded in 2013 and entering Germanys federal parliament in 2017, the AfD increasingly moved towards right-wing extremism. Today, the party is Germanys most successful nationalistic party. Following the populist playbook, the AfD started off with a simple neoliberal and anti-Europe message, but soon moved towards the extreme right. By 2017 the AfDs ultra-nationalistic wing had successfully outmanoeuvred the partys moderate and neoliberal leader Frauke Petry. Written from the standpoint of openness, pluralism, liberalism and democracy, this book examines ...
Das Ende des Wahnsinns
Man muss kein Pessimist sein, um den heutigen Zustand der Menschheit und der Welt als sehr besorgniserregend einzuschätzen. Man muss kein Optimist sein, um dennoch an die Möglichkeit von Veränderungen zu glauben. Man ist allerdings ein verantwortungsloser Träumer, wenn man auf Veränderungen hofft, ohne selber etwas verändern zu wollen. Der notwendige Wandel beginnt im Denken eines jedes Einzelnen. Das Grundübel des Homo sapiens, welches all seinem Wahn bezüglich des Zusammenlebens der Menschen und deren Umgang mit der Natur, also dem "Terror sapiens" zugrunde liegt, ist sein gnadenloser Drang zu einseitigen Weltsichten, die sich die Menschen zu allem Überfluss dann auch noch all zu ...
