Trafficking in arms and weapons material is, perhaps, one of the most notorious forms of organised crime. Fuelled by both the movie industry as well as real world examples, criminal organisations are widely believed to engage in the trafficking of firearms and weapons material, including nuclear material. This illicit trade is further facilitated by corruption and other forms of collusion with government entities as well as by links between the criminal elements and the arms industry. As part of a joint teaching programme on transnational organised crime, students from the Universities of Queensland, Vienna and Zurich researched the topic of arms trafficking in a year-long course. Some of their academic papers are compiled in this volume, addressing topics ranging from international and national legal frameworks to levels and characteristics of this phenomenon in selected places, and enforcement and industry measures adopted to prevent and suppress this illicit trade.

À Badiraguato, commune rurale et marginalisée du Mexique, le maire a fait édifier avec enthousiasme un belvédère où, à la manière de la colline de Hollywood, se détachent de monumentales lettres qui surplombent le paysage. Il faut dire que le village, au cœur de la région escarpée du Sinaloa, a été mis en scène sur les écrans du monde entier par une série Netflix revenant sur les pas des plus célèbres " Narcos " mexicains, Joaquín El Chapo Guzman et Rafael Caro Quintero. Il est aussi l'épicentre d'une " guerre contre la drogue " qui a fait plus de victimes depuis le début du XXIe siècle que les conflits en Afghanistan ou en Irak.Mais comment vivent au quotidien celles et ceux qui restent invisibles dans cette grande fresque, qui subsistent dans cette région sans emplois, qui tiennent une épicerie, cultivent une petite parcelle ou occupent un poste dans l'administration locale ? De quelles manières se déplace-t-on dans cet espace enclavé où une mauvaise rencontre peut surgir à tout instant ? Qui sont les producteurs de pavot, coincés entre la répression militaire et l'exploitation de ceux qui achètent leur récolte ? Qu'est-ce qu'être une femme dans un lieu suspendu à la violence des hommes ? Et comment donner sens aux meurtres qui rythment le quotidien ?En se situant au plus proche des logiques d'action des personnes, cette ethnographie sensible lève le voile sur une zone interdite qui est l'envers de notre économie globalisée ; l'enquête anthropologique nous fait toucher du doigt l'incertitude qui règne lorsque, une nouvelle fois, " l'aube s'est levée sur un mort ".

Though the provision of illicit goods and services is far from being a new phenomenon, today's global economic environment has allowed transnational organized crime an unprecedented capacity to challenge states. The authors of this book examine the trends underlying the explosion of transnational organized crime and consider possible responses. Emphasizing the difficulties encountered by individual states in their efforts to deal with this security dilemma, they highlight the growing importance of multilateral initiatives.
