The Paradox of Honesty: How Multinationals Contribute to the Spread of Organised Crime

Philippe Very and Bertrand Monnet

Chapter 4 in The Paradoxes of Globalisation, 2010, pp 84-95 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Drug trafficking, arms trafficking, prostitution, money laundering, organ trafficking: these are the traditional activities of organised crime. Carried out by mafias, cartels and other criminal groups, these activities seem at first so remote from the concerns of multinational corporations that they are often referred to as the ‘parallel world’. Our economy is perceived by many as being split into two separate worlds: the legal and honest sphere made up of, and involving, the operations of respectable enterprises, and the parallel sphere, made up of illegal, largely underground activities.
