- Title
Crime in transition: The post-communist state, markets and crime.
- Authors
Los, Maria
- Abstract
Given that the state was central to the Soviet Communism, the paths and practices of its transformation need to be carefully studied. This article probes the emerging dimensions of a new state-market-crime nexus, It explores processes leading to a substantial merger between the transforming state and new, controlled markets, whereby both are shaped and suffused by state/corporate criminal organized interests. These processes confound the traditional dilemma of 'too much' or 'too little' state as the state and law are simultaneously undermined and fortified, dwarfed and augmented, supplanted and made indispensable by the quasi marketization of corruption, crime, security and surveillance. This article serves as an introduction to the papers collected in this volume.
