In the hunt for the "sultans of smack: dope, gangsters and the construction of the Turkish deep state / Gingeras, Ryan   Journal Article
Gingeras, Ryan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This article traces the development and evolution of the Turkish heroin trade against the backdrop of the Republic of Turkey's long transition from imperial core to nation-state. In taking up heroin's relationship to modern Turkey, I would like to specifically explore the meaning and manifestations of what many inside and outside of academia have called the "deep state." Heroin, I argue, was and is one of the most vital enablers of the factional "deep state" rivalries that compete for power in Ankara, adding a steady violent dimension to local and national politics.

Mafia states: organized crime takes office / Naim, Moises   Journal Article
Naim, Moises Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract Around the world, criminal organizations and governments are fusing to an unprecedented degree, blurring the distinction between national interests and what suits the gangsters. Mafia states enjoy the unhealthy advantages of their hybrid status: they're as nimble as gangs and as well protected as governments, and thus more dangerous than either.
