(Revised Entry Due Date)*

	

	

	

We are looking for contributors for volume I of the 2-volume,
illustrated ORGANIZED CRIME: A INTERNATIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA, VOL.I and II,
to be published by ABC-CLIO in 2007. Comprehensive in scope and written
by top scholars in the field, ORGANIZED CRIME: AN INTERNATIONAL
ENCYCLOPEDIA will be the definitive reference work on Transnational
Organized Crime for years to come. The volume consists of sixteen
chapters, broken down into three sections. Section 1 is devoted largely
to historical antecedents, causation theories and group dynamics and
provides a global overview (by region) of the organized crime problem.
Section 2 covers the global organized crime problem by addressing
specific activities, enterprises and sources of financing. Section 2
also addresses some key issues such as Hi-tech and Cyber-crimes. Section
3 addresses the global impact of organized crime, the criminal-terrorist
nexus and international efforts to combat organized crime and
corruption. Section 3 also contains several articles, which address the
future of global organized crime and it’s control and concludes by
providing an agenda for future research.

Articles run between 3 and 10 manuscript pages in length, depending on
the subject. All entries will be signed and all writers will be listed
on contributor page. Small honoraria will be paid and/or copies of the
full encyclopedia set will also be offered. Contributors may write more
than one entry. Full authorial credit, including name and affiliation,
will be listed, both with the entry and on the contributor's page. Given
the scope and present relevance of this project it is our desire to
attract as many knowledgeable scholars as possible. The submission
deadline for the remaining available entries is August 1, 2006. The
author may contribute more than one entry provided the above due date is
met.

exciting and important project, please contact me at your earliest
