FOREWORD – 3 Foreword The global economy is increasingly interconnected. This presents greater opportunities for many citizens and businesses, but also for a range of illicit networks that foster criminal activities. Illicit trade creates an enormous capital flow from outside of the formal economy, not only resulting in loss of revenue for governments and industries, but also jeopardizing public health and security, and enriching criminals who have a vested interest in undermining the rule of law. This report provides an overview of 7 sectors of illicit trade, including trafficking in persons, wildlife and narcotics, as well as counterfeit medicines, tobacco and alcohol. It describes their negative impacts on the economy, society and the environment and maps trade routes that move illicit goods around the world, which reveals how the same routes are used to smuggle very different types of illegal goods and maximize illegal profits. This overview can provide governments with insight about the policies that work to reduce or deter illicit trade, and importantly, where work remains to address governance gaps. Governments are less flexible and agile than the networks that traffic contraband around the globe. Enforcement actions might stem one flow, but criminal entrepreneurs can quickly change their trade routes. Governments need to strengthen the capacities of law enforcement to share information across borders to keep pace with these changes, and they also need to take stock of the policies that inadvertently create business opportunities for criminals. A comprehensive approach to stemming illicit trade explores how to reduce consumer demand for prohibited and illicit goods. It is premised on the willingness of leaders to exercise their full power to levy sanctions with deterrent effect both on traffickers and their cohorts. The last point is crucial, because the current scale of illicit trade could be decimated through the vigorous implementation of anti-corruption laws, anti-money laundering regulations and asset recovery procedures. This report brings together knowledge from governments, international organisations, non-governmental organisations and industries whose bottom lines are affected by illicit trade through a unique stocktaking exercise. This multi-stakeholder approach has enabled a fuller understanding of the connections between different forms of illicit activities. In particular, this report draws from the collective expertise of a network of specialists from across countries and economies, the OECD Task Force on Countering Illicit Trade (TF-CIT). The TF-CIT is part of the OECD High Level Risk Forum (HLRF), which works with governments to better understand the full range of complex risks and threats posed to our global economies. ILLICIT TRADE: CONVERGING CRIMINAL NETWORKS © OECD 2016 4 – FOREWORD This multi-stakeholder initiative creates a foundation for future work as well as a shared understanding of the challenges presented by illicit trade. Going forward, the OECD will continue to address the “dark side” of globalisation, working with countries to design and implement policies needed to ensure clean trade and helping them to strengthen their enforcement practices. Rolf Alter Director, OECD Public Governance and Territorial Development Directorate ILLICIT TRADE: CONVERGING CRIMINAL NETWORKS © OECD 2016 PREFACE – 5 Preface The OECD Task Force on Countering Illicit Trade (TF-CIT) was established to advance the resilience of our economies and societies to the odious global threat: illicit trade perpetrated by criminal entrepreneurs and transnational illicit networks that enables the global illegal economy to thrive in the dark side of globalization. In too many places around the world, criminals have built their illicit empires on dirty money and laundered funds to infiltrate and corrupt government institutions. In this shadowy, illegal economy traffickers and narcotics kingpins act as CEOs and venture capitalists while they build their empires of destruction, jeopardizing public health, emaciating communities’ human capital, eroding our collective security, and destabilizing fragile governments. The breadth and scale of these illicit markets are vast; various international organizations estimate the scale of illicit trade is thriving with hundreds of billions of dollars in illicit commerce that includes trafficking in narcotics, persons, endangered wildlife, illegally- logged timber, counterfeit consumer goods and medications, hazardous and toxic waste, stolen antiquities and art, illicitly-traded cigarettes, and other illicitly-traded goods and commodities. The OECD TF-CIT focuses on evidence-based research and advanced analytics to assist policy-makers map and understand the market vulnerabilities exploited and created by illicit trade. Mapping the harms and impacts of illicit trade and the licit-illicit complex system will help us pinpoint large-scale disruptions to illicit markets and identify tools to reinforce the most vulnerable points of entry to the illegal economy. Quantitative metrics better inform policy makers, allowing them to drive criminal entrepreneurs out of business, reduce the incentives for communities to resort to illegal commercial activity, mitigate opportunities for organized crime to taint our financial system with their ill- gotten gains, and help governments sustain legitimate markets so that businesses that respect regulations can thrive. Pragmatic mapping tools will also be useful for policy- makers and law enforcement to not only engage in upstream and downstream coordinated mitigation and disruptions of the illicit trade, but also address gaps in surveillance and monitoring systems to develop more effective early detection and warning systems of the new harms and risks of illicit trade to the formal economy. The importance and timeliness of this OECD initiative reflects the growing threat posed by transnational organized crime and illicit networks, which has expanded in size, scope, and menace, destabilizing globalized economies and markets alike and created insecurity in communities around the world. As criminal entrepreneurs and transnational illicit networks hijack the technological, financial, and communications advances of globalization for illicit gains, they continue to present new harms to the governance and security of all nations. The proliferation of these threatening networks and the convergence of their

  • Pharmacy/Prescription Drug Fraud Tips for Protecting Yourself and Medicare
    Pharmacy/Prescription Drug Fraud Tips for Protecting Yourself and Medicare Pharmacy and prescription drug fraud is a consistent trend in Medicare. Due to the lucrative nature of prescription drug diversion and pharmacy scams, criminals continue to exploit Medicare Part D. What is Medicare Pharmacy/Prescription Drug Fraud? Although there are many types of prescription drug schemes, pharmacy fraud primarily occurs when Medicare is billed for a medication that was not received or a beneficiary is intentionally given a different prescription drug than prescribed. What are Examples of Pharmacy/Prescription Drug Fraud? • Billing Medicare for prescription drugs (including refills) that were never picked up, delivered, or even prescribed. • Billing Medicare for prescription drugs (occasionally controlled substances such as opioids) that were prescribed by a health care provider you have never seen. • Billing Medicare for medication amounts beyond the quantity you were prescribed. • Billing Medicare for a different prescription drug (often more expensive) than the one you were originally prescribed or issuing you a drug that is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). • A pharmacy that intentionally provides less medication than prescribed. • A pharmacy that issues expired drugs. • A pharmacy that provides and bills for an expensive compounded medication, including topical pain creams, when a traditional or less expensive prescription was ordered by your provider. • A company offering you “free” or “discount” prescription drugs without a treating physician’s order and then billing Medicare. • A pharmacy offering gift cards or other compensation so you switch your prescriptions over to a specific pharmacy. • A pharmacy automatically refilling a prescription you no longer need.

  • Keralda/India) Ecology and Landscape in an Isolated Indian National Park Photos: Ian Lockwood
    IAN LOCKWOOD Eravikolam and the High Range (Keralda/India) Ecology and Landscape in an Isolated Indian National Park Photos: Ian Lockwood The southern Indian state of Kerala has long been recognized for its remarkable human development indicators. It has the country’s highest literary rates, lowest infant mortality rates and highest life expectancy. With 819 people per km2 Kerala is also one of the densest populated states in India. It is thus surprising to find one of the India’s loneliest and least disturbed natural landscapes in the mountainous region of Kerala known as the High Range. Here a small 97 km2 National Park called Eraviku- lam gives a timeless sense of the Western Ghats before the widespread encroachment of plantation agriculture, hydro- electric schemes, mining and human settlements. he High Range is a part of the Western Ghats, a heterogeneous chain of mountains and hills that separate the moist Malabar and Konkan Coasts from the semi-arid interiors of the TDekhan plateau. They play a key role in direct- ing the South Western monsoon and providing water to the plateau and the coastal plains. Starting at the southern tip of India at Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin), the mountains rise abruptly from the sea and plains. The Western Ghats continue in a nearly unbroken 1,600 km mountainous spine and end at the Tapi River on the border between Maharashtra and Gujarat. Bio- logically rich, the Western Ghats are blessed with high rates of endemism. In recent years as a global alarm has sounded on declining biodiversity, the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka have been designated as one of 25 “Global Biodiversity Hotspots” by Conservation Inter- national.

  • The Four Iron Steamships of William Alexander Lewis Stephen Douglas – Hamilton
    The Four Iron Steamships of William Alexander Lewis Stephen Douglas – Hamilton. KT 12th Duke of Hamilton, 9th Duke of Brandon, 2nd Duke of Châtellerault Second Edition. 1863 Easton Park, Suffolk, England (Demolished 1925) Hamilton Palace, Scotland (Demolished 1927) Brian Boon & Michel Waller Introduction The families residing in the village of Easton, Suffolk experienced many changing influences over their lives during the 92 year tenure of four generations of the Hamilton family over the 4,883 acre Easton Park Estate. The Dukes of Hamilton were the Premier Dukedom of Scotland, owning many mansions and estates in Scotland together with other mining interests. These generated considerable income. Hamilton Palace alone, in Scotland, had more rooms than Buckingham Palace. Their fortunes varied from the extremely wealthy 10th Duke Alexander, H.M. Ambassador to the Court of the Czar of Russia, through to the financial difficulties of the 12th Duke who was renowned for his idleness, gambling and luxurious lifestyle. Add to this the agricultural depression commencing in 1870. On his death in 1895, he left debts of £1 million even though he had previously sold the fabulous art and silver collections of his grandparents. His daughter, Mary, then aged 10 inherited Easton and the Arran estates and remained in Easton, with the Dowager Duchess until 1913 when she married Lord Graham. The estates were subsequently sold and the family returned to Arran. This is an account of the lives of the two passenger paddle steamers and two large luxury yachts that the 12th Duke had built by Blackwood & Gordon of Port Glasgow and how their purchase and sales fitted in with his varying fortunes and lifestyle.

Box 197, Caulfield East, Victoria 3145, Australia, Tel: 61 3 9903 1081, Fax: 61 3 9903 2205 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bourdieu’s concepts of social fields and social power provide a theoretical basis for arguing that the information systems (IS) field is engaged in an ongoing struggle with other disciplines for prestige and support. While IS has produced a considerable amount of high quality theory and research, it is by no means clear that this is understood by either the academy or the general public. It is argued that the discipline’s profile could be raised by the development and promulgation of a general theory of IS, similar in scope to the general theories found in other disciplines such as sociology. The political and cultural value of developing such a theory is discussed, as are a range of issues it is recommended that it should address. INTRODUCTION item of “cultural capital” (Bourdieu and Wacquant 1992) contributing to its public It is proposed in this paper that the image. An influential theory is implicitly a development of a prestigious general theory in statement that the field from which it the information systems (IS) field is possible, originates is a source of marketable ideas, and opportune, and would be of considerable worthy therefore of interest and respect benefit to the field.
