In an increasingly interconnected world, transnational organised crime is becoming a more prominent threat than ever before.  At this event, distinguished historian and journalist Misha Glenny discussed his recent book McMafia: Crime Without Frontiers, in which he explores the unprecedented levels of consumer demand for drugs, trafficked women, illegal labour and arms across five continents.

He argued that conventional policing methods are no longer appropriate to deal with a problem whose roots lie in global poverty and the ever widening divisions between rich and poor.  William Hughes (Director General of the Serious Organised Crime Agency) will be acting as a respondent.

This seminar is part of a series being hosted by ippr’s Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, which is being co-chaired by Paddy Ashdown and George Robertson.
