Financial Crimes: A Threat to Global Security

Providing information from United Nations presentations and experts in the field of international security, this volume describes the influence that organized crime, white collar crime, and corruption have on the world financial systems, examining what can be done to prevent the collapse of these financial systems and how to prevent future crises. The end goal is to determine how the world can experience a higher standard of living and security without destroying the financial infrastructure. These issues are discussed within the framework of the concepts of comprehensive security and human security. The text reflects outcomes from the October 2010 UN meeting on Organized Crime, White Collar Crime and Corruption.
