This is no different to African diaspora actors. So who are these people and how have they become so engaged with their home countries? Often classified as ‘diaspora entrepreneurs’, they represent the group of migrants or those of migrant origin who are entrepreneurs, live outside of their home country, yet stay involved.1 It implies a transnational element of entrepreneurship between one or more

  • Terrorist and Organized Crime Groups in the Tri-Border Area (Tba) of South America
    TERRORIST AND ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN THE TRI-BORDER AREA (TBA) OF SOUTH AMERICA A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Crime and Narcotics Center Director of Central Intelligence July 2003 (Revised December 2010) Author: Rex Hudson Project Manager: Glenn Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 205404840 Tel: 2027073900 Fax: 2027073920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ p 55 Years of Service to the Federal Government p 1948 – 2003 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Tri-Border Area (TBA) PREFACE This report assesses the activities of organized crime groups, terrorist groups, and narcotics traffickers in general in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, focusing mainly on the period since 1999. Some of the related topics discussed, such as governmental and police corruption and anti–money-laundering laws, may also apply in part to the three TBA countries in general in addition to the TBA. This is unavoidable because the TBA cannot be discussed entirely as an isolated entity. Based entirely on open sources, this assessment has made extensive use of books, journal articles, and other reports available in the Library of Congress collections. It is based in part on the author’s earlier research paper entitled “Narcotics-Funded Terrorist/Extremist Groups in Latin America” (May 2002). It has also made extensive use of sources available on the Internet, including Argentine, Brazilian, and Paraguayan newspaper articles. One of the most relevant Spanish-language sources used for this assessment was Mariano César Bartolomé’s paper entitled Amenazas a la seguridad de los estados: La triple frontera como ‘área gris’ en el cono sur americano [Threats to the Security of States: The Triborder as a ‘Grey Area’ in the Southern Cone of South America] (2001).

Lawrance and Ruby P Andrew INTRODUCTION In the decade since the US Department of State (USDOS) instituted the production of its annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, anti- trafficking measures have been passed across the globe, and the US role in setting standards and paradigms for anti-trafficking has been extensively analyzed and criticized.1 Through its Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (OMCTP), the USDOS’ three-tier categorization of nations’ trafficking measures continues to play a pivotal role in shaming recalcitrant nations into responding to accusations of trafficking within and across their respective borders.2 No region has experienced so dramatic a transformation with respect to the USDOS agenda of “prevention, protection, and prosecution” than sub- Saharan Africa.3 No sub-Saharan African nation had an anti-trafficking statute at the start of the millennium.

  • Diverse Streams: African Migration to the United States
    Diverse streams: AfricAn MigrAtion to the uniteD stAtes Randy Capps KRisten MCCabe MiChael Fix A project of the MigrAtion policy institute’s nAtionAl center on immigrAnt integrAtion policy NATIONAL CENTER ON IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION POLICY DIVERSE STREAMS: BLACK AFRICAN MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES By Randy Capps, Kristen McCabe, and Michael Fix April 2012 Acknowledgments This paper is the first in a series of papers to be released by the Migration Policy Institute’s National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy focused on young children of Black immigrants in the United States. The series, along with a capstone volume to be released in spring 2012, flow from an understanding that despite the population’s rapid growth, children in Black immigrant families remain largely neglected by the research literature. Two companion papers to this one explore Caribbean flows to the United States, as well as patterns of integration and well-being among Black children of immigrants and their families. Papers to be subsequently released will address the health, education, and other domains influencing the development and well-being of young children of Black immigrants. Core support for the project is provided by the Foundation for Child Development. An earlier draft of this paper was developed for Pilot Projects on Transatlantic Methods for Handling Global Challenges in the European Union and the United States, a proj- ect funded by the European Commission and conducted jointly by the Migration Policy Institute and the European University Institute. The authors would like to thank Kevin Thomas at the Pennsylvania State University Population Research Institute for providing feedback on an earlier draft of this paper.
