Exploring the dynamics of law-making in a world where the pace of technological change is outstripping our capacity to capture new forms of transnational crime, this book uses the innovative concept of unlawfulness to examine the crimes of the global overworld, forming a unique analysis of global order in the twenty-first century.Crime today is synonymous with security but our preoccupation with exposing the hidden mechanisms of the global underworld engenders an incomplete understanding of a vexed and complex field of inquiry, policy and practice. International and global relations are being refashioned and re-coded in ways that demand a fresh and expansive interpretation that acknowledges the scope and complexity of networked human interactions. Using the innovative concept of unlawfulness, this book examines the crimes and misdemeanours of the global overworld to form a unique analysis of global order in the twenty-first century. Battersby argues that unlawfulness - the intentional transgression of criminal law - is an active but under-researched principle in international affairs, and maps out the scope of tolerated unlawfulness among and within states and non-state actors including private companies and not-for-profit 'civil society' organizations. Exploring the dynamics of law-making in a world where the pace of technological change is outstripping our capacity to capture new forms of international and transnational crime, this book will be a valuable resource to scholars of International Politics, Global Governance, International Law, Security, Criminal Justice and Policing.

520 1 $a Battersby's masterful treatment of 'unlawfulness' in various cultural contexts manages to unravel the complexity of global crime and related dynamics. Clear, accessible, and erudite, this study provides much needed insights into the dark side of globalization. - Manfred B. Steger, Professor of Political Science and Global Studies, University of Hawai'i-Manoa and RMIT University, Australia Paul Battersby has written an innovative and compelling account of the changing nature of global crime. The book delves into the complex and frequently hidden mechanisms and processes of the global underworld, a world occupied by both state and non-state actors. [It] will be engaging reading to all those interested in the contemporary pattern of unlawful behaviour that extends across borders. - David Held, University of Durham, UK.
