The Illicit and Illegal in Regional and Urban Governance and Development: Corrupt Places

ISBN-13: 9780367884208 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 280 str.

Francesco Chiodelli; Tim Hall; Ray Hudson

Opis

Discussions of the illicit and the illegal have tended to be somewhat restricted in their disciplinary range and have been largely confined to the literatures of anthropology, criminology, policing and, to an extent, political science. This book is a multidisciplinary volume that aims to open up these debates.

Recenzje

"The diverse and rich contents of the book – which have been briefly re-called in this review – makes it suitable for a large audience, both in and outside the academic field. On the one hand, scholars and students from different disciplines, e.g. sociology, criminology, economics, political science, international relations, as well as geography of course, could find many empirical and analytical elements of interests in the volume. On the other hand, the book can also provide useful infor-mation and suggestions to public officers and policy makers for political projects and for the definition of new tools in fighting against criminal phenomena. Finally, the book could also rouse the attention of journalists and media commentators, considering the flurry international public debate about the drivers and the effects of the illicit and the illegal." - Joselle Dagnes, University of Torino
