Abstract
The aim of this NATO Advanced Research Workshop is to try to outline the organization and alliances of the criminal powers, through confrontation of the points of view of experts from different professional background and geographical areas.
Considering the danger these growing criminal powers represent for our western democraties, very little resources have been devoted until now on the subject.
As a matter of fact, if more and more seems to be known about the specific networks, there remain a general lack of information about their links and modes of relations and cooperation.
