impact of transnational crime
Definition
- The characteristic of transnational crime that defines its impact is its capacity to articulate the local with the global by making use of the comparative advantages that the blend of globalization and illegality offer. Taking stock of the exponential speed in the flow of people, goods, information, capital, and services in an increasingly interconnected and borderless world, transnational crime networks have come to act as powerful brokers that bridge local, impoverished areas of the globe and regions where there are lucrative global markets.
