PIA 2365 - TRANSNATIONAL CRIME

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Since the end of the cold war, threats to national and international security have become more varied and diffused. Some of these threats are subtle and insidious rather than overtly military in character. Transnational organized crime has this character. The course is intended to provide substantive knowledge about major transnational criminal organizations and the threats they pose to domestic and global governance and to international security and stability. Accordingly, it places the challenge posed by transnational organized crime in the context of broader issues of globalization, governance, and disorder. The purpose of this course is to examine the phenomenon of transnational organized crime, in all its variations and manifestations, to identify major transnational criminal organizations and activities, to assess the threat posed to national and international security and stability, and to evaluate the policy implications of this threat.
