"House of Trump, House of Putin offers the first comprehensive investigation into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia that ultimately helped win Trump the White House. It is a chilling story that begins in the 1970s, when Trump made his first splash in the booming, money-drenched world of New York real estate, and ends with Trump's inauguration as president of the United States. That moment was the culmination of Vladimir Putin's long mission to undermine Western democracy, a mission that began more than thirty years ago, when the Russian Mafia first targeted Trump properties to launder money, and led to Putin's oligarchs and Mafia kingpins rescuing Trump from a string of sensational Trump hotel and casino bankruptcies in Atlantic City. This book confirms the most incredible American paranoias about Russian malevolence. To most, it will be a hair-raising revelation that the Cold War did not end in 1991--that it merely evolved, with Trump's apartments offering the perfect vehicle for billions of dollars to leave the collapsing Soviet Union. In House of Trump, House of Putin, Craig Unger methodically traces the deep-rooted alliance between the highest echelons of American political operatives and the biggest players in the frightening underworld of the Russian Mafia. He traces Donald Trump's sordid ascent from foundering real estate tycoon to the highest office in the land. He traces Russia's phoenixlike rise from the ashes of the post-Cold War Soviet Union as well as its ceaseless covert efforts to retaliate against the West and reclaim its status as a global superpower. Without Trump, Russia would have lacked a key component in its attempts to return to imperial greatness. Without Russia, Trump would not be president. This essential book is crucial to understanding the real powers at play in the shadows of today's world. "--Dust jacket.

De politie wordt in toenemende mate lokaal geconfronteerd met veiligheidsproblemen die een (verre) buitenlandse oorzaak hebben. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan criminaliteit die zich rond havens concentreert, maar ook aan cybercrime en terrorisme. De drijvende krachten achter dit proces van glocalisering zijn de toegenomen mobiliteit (stromen van mensen, goederen, geld, informatie en ideeën), het internet dat de plaatsongebondenheid faciliteert en de forse toename van communicatietechnologieën. In dit Cahier onderzoeken we hoe de politie de gevolgen van glocalisering het hoofd biedt. Vragen die aan bod komen zijn: Hoe manifesteren problemen zich lokaal? Wat is de rol van kruispunten als havens en wereldsteden? Zijn bestaande samenwerkingsverbanden als Europol en Interpol nog voldoende geëquipeerd om met de veranderende dynamiek om te gaan? En hoe kan politiesamenwerking internationaal op politiek niveau gefaciliteerd worden?
