"In Beyond Convergence: World Without Order, edited by Hilary Matfess and Michael Miklaucic (published 2016), a range of different authors - amongst them several staff members and experts from the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime - examine different areas where a range of illicit actors (international terrorists, globally networked insurgents, and transnational criminal organisations) exploit, thrive on and keep fragile states."--Provided by publisher.
