"Illicit trade is usually studied through the individual lenses of single disciplines. This volume starts from the premise that a phenomenon so complex calls for interdisciplinary approaches. Each chapter is the work of a team of scholars from different fields who come together to consider some of the most pressing open questions about why illicit trade happens and why it persists. Many of their answers raise further questions about illicit trade, but that is what makes the subject matter so compelling."- Donna Yates, Maastricht University"The Causes of Illicit Trade is an ambitious and valuable contribution to the study of illicit markets. Drawing on insights from several disciplines, it links individual motivations and social networks to the legal, economic, and political conditions that allow illicit exchange to take root. I particularly welcome its attention to the mechanisms that make these markets possible and sustain them over time, and to the roles played by legitimate businesses, professional intermediaries, and state actors. From the transmission of criminal know-how within mafia families to the opportunities created by conflict and technological change, the volume offers a rich basis for comparison across markets and settings. Essential reading for scholars and policymakers seeking to understand why illicit trade persists and how interventions can address the conditions that sustain it."- Federico Varese, Professor of Sociology, Sciences Po and Senior Research Fellow, Nuffield College, Oxford, author of Mafia Life"Illicit trade, whether in drugs, wildlife or any of a wide variety of goods and services, has been a prominent issue for more than 20 years. Mostly the attention has been on estimating the size of the specific trades or on policy recommendations as to how to reduce them. There has not been nearly enough attention to what generates these global supply chains. This volume provides a welcome set of essays that explore the many factors that lead to illegal trades, a necessary preliminary to serious policy analysis." - Peter Reuter, University of Maryland
