’Organised crime concerns us all, but is opaque and poorly understood. This original and perceptive book illuminates both the G8’s role in this field and its wider international treatment, drawing on hitherto unrevealed material. Its open style makes it accessible to both the scholar and anyone interested in the subject.’ Nicholas Bayne, London School of Economics and Political Science , UK '...provides an original and detailed analysis of the role of the G8 in the development of global measures against transnational organised crime, a subject area which is strikingly under-researched. It is required reading for anyone interested in the process of globalisation of criminal justice policy and a valuable addition to the literature in international relations, criminology and law in the field.'
