The Mediterranean Connection (Hardback)

"Superb.... This amazing resource fills a critical gap in the literature on North Africa and criminal enterprises."—Kimberley L. Thachuk, Johns Hopkins University

Smuggling and trafficking activities have intensified throughout North Africa in recent years, threatening both fragile economies and human security. The authors of The Mediterranean Connection examine the nature of these illicit flows and the routes that they take across Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and beyond. As they explore the practices of criminal networks and what allows them to thrive in the region, they open a window to the dark underbelly of the global economy.
