Transnational Organized Crime

‘In Transnational Organized Crime: Challenging International Law Principles on State Jurisdiction, Fulvia Staiano engages in an admirably clear-eyed exploration of how states have overcome the fundamental problems of projecting their legal authority beyond their borders in order to suppress transnational organized crime, and how their practice has catalysed alteration of the orthodox international law principles of expanded territorial and extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction. This wide-ranging but concise and up-to-date analysis of the complex and rapidly evolving laws involved, deserves a place on your book-shelf.’ – Neil Boister, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
‘This is a most timely book which showcases how the international law of jurisdiction has evolved in the context of transnational organized crime, in ways that often differ from other fields of the law. The author foregrounds the peculiar interpretations which are given to jurisdictional concepts in this particular field, and convincingly explains their rationales. This book invites us to think anew about the variegated forms which jurisdictional assertions take on, depending on the issue-area.’ – Cedric Ryngaert, Utrecht University, the Netherlands
