This book seeks to establish a direct relationship between nation states and organized crime groups. It explores the idea that many States have been using criminal and terrorist organizations as a policy for national sovereignty issues, and as a tool to strengthen the nation’s geopolitical position. This book brings together international relations and criminology to bridge and and uses a range of open source, public documents and interviews to examine the case of China, USA and Russia.
