It demonstrates the numerous similarities between these types of organizations in terms of their organizational structures and dynamics, and their role as economic, social and political actors. As such, it challenges conventional arguments about the nature of contemporary terrorist and criminal organizations in Europe, and offers an explanation for these similarities rooted in both the violent character of the organizations themselves and their location within territories characterized by the existence of functional, widely legitimate contemporary states. 3 Acknowledgements Completing a thesis is a challenging experience even under the best of circumstances, and while there is generally only one name appears on the title page, completing this project would not have been possible without the help and support of many people. I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Achim Hurrelmann, for accepting my request to be my supervisor despite his many other obligations. His assistance, throughout the preparatory stages of this thesis especially, was invaluable, and his insights, comments, and most of all his patience throughout the completion of this thesis are deeply appreciated. I would also like to thank the faculty and staff of the Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies for their kindness and dedication. A special thanks to both Dr. Jeff Sahadeo and Dr. Joan Debardeleben is also necessary, as their assistance and advice was instrumental in allowing me to participate in what has been an excellent program of study. Additionally, I must acknowledge the faculty of my former university, especially Fr. Maxime Allard, of the Dominican College of Theology and Philosophy, who through his lectures and our many long discussions taught me the importance of thinking critically and seriously, not only about the work of others, but of my own as well. I also thank Dr. Letizia Paoli, whose crucially important insights into the mafia are quoted at length throughout this text, and who through a kind word of encouragement at a particularly frustrating moment kept the idea for this thesis from becoming an abandoned one. Thank you as well to my friends and colleagues at Public Safety, who have also provided me immense help throughout the final stages of what has proved to be a challenging, but rewarding experience. Most importantly, I thank my family, especially my wife Mariel, without whose support the completion of this thesis would truly not have been possible. Thank you for your patience, dedication, love and sacrifice, and for humoring me by listening to my countless hours of droning on about paramilitaries this and mafias that. I love you, and promise not to do a PhD (at least for a while)! Also, to my sons, Zackary, Brendan, Sean, and Kalian, who have been the four most important reasons not to give up, even at the toughest of times. My mom and grandmother also deserve a special thanks for their many (hundreds? thousands?) hours of babysitting, and for tolerating the piles of journal articles and books piled up on kitchen tables and chairs. Finally, I thank my father, James Saunders, for teaching me the value of hard work and persistence, and my mother-in-law, Maureen McKenzie, for her encouragement and kindness. It is to their memory - loved and missed much - that I dedicate this work. 4 CONTENTS Introduction i. Basis and Rationale for a Comparative Analysis 1 ii. Structure of the Thesis 2 Hi.

Basis and Rationale for a Comparative Analysis Despite the increased interest in both terrorism and organized crime since the end of the Cold War, as well the links and similarities between the two phenomena, few in-depth comparative cases studies of terrorist and criminal organizations exist. The concepts of terrorism and organized crime, moreover, because of the assumptions on which they are constructed, are not particularly helpful for providing a conceptual basis for such comparative analyses. The most unfortunate consequence of this lacuna in the debate has been that discussions of the links or similarities between terrorist and criminal organizations have remained speculative and theoretical. And while there is nothing inherently wrong with either theory or speculation (idle or otherwise), unless applied to empirical cases, it is easy for theoretical debates to become circular and, unfortunately, somewhat stale. As such, this thesis aims to undertake a comparative case study of two groups of organizations, specifically, paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland and mafia organizations in Sicily, which have typically been presented as emblematic instances of terrorist and criminal organizations, respectively. By conducting such a comparative analysis, some of the problems inherent in studies that remain primarily theoretical can be avoided, and new avenues of inquiry (hopefully) opened. The prominence of the specific organizations being studied in the literature on organized crime and terrorism, moreover, will hopefully lend greater weight to the criticism of current comparative approaches and the assumptions on which they are based. Finally, in entering into a detailed analysis of these organizations, the value of limited but detailed attention to specific organizations 2 and their structures and dynamics, rather than broader but less in-depth surveys, will be emphasized as an important condition for moving the debate on the similarities between 'criminal' and 'terrorist' organizations forward. it Structure of the Thesis The structure of this thesis consists of three primary parts. The first chapter outlines and problematizes the concepts of 'organized crime' and 'terrorism' as analytical concepts and categories, and through a review of the comparative literature on terrorism and organized crime shows the inherent limits of

  • Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri's Detective
    MAFIA MOTIFS IN ANDREA CAMILLERI’S DETECTIVE MONTALBANO NOVELS: FROM THE CULTURE AND BREAKDOWN OF OMERTÀ TO MAFIA AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE FAILURE OF STATE Adriana Nicole Cerami A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (Italian). Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Dino S. Cervigni Amy Chambless Roberto Dainotto Federico Luisetti Ennio I. Rao © 2015 Adriana Nicole Cerami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Adriana Nicole Cerami: Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri’s Detective Montalbano Novels: From the Culture and Breakdown of Omertà to Mafia as a Scapegoat for the Failure of State (Under the direction of Ennio I. Rao) Twenty out of twenty-six of Andrea Camilleri’s detective Montalbano novels feature three motifs related to the mafia. First, although the mafia is not necessarily the main subject of the narratives, mafioso behavior and communication are present in all novels through both mafia and non-mafia-affiliated characters and dialogue. Second, within the narratives there is a distinction between the old and the new generations of the mafia, and a preference for the old mafia ways. Last, the mafia is illustrated as the usual suspect in everyday crime, consequentially diverting attention and accountability away from government authorities. Few critics have focused on Camilleri’s representations of the mafia and their literary significance in mafia and detective fiction. The purpose of the present study is to cast light on these three motifs through a close reading and analysis of the detective Montalbano novels, lending a new twist to the genre of detective fiction.

  • Light Cannabis and Organized Crime. Evidence from (Unintended) Liberalization in Italy
    HEDG HEALTH, ECONOMETRICS AND DATA GROUP WP 18/15 Light cannabis and organized crime. Evidence from (unintended) liberalization in Italy Vincenzo Carrieri; Leonardo Madio and Francesco Principe June 2018 http://www.york.ac.uk/economics/postgrad/herc/hedg/wps/ Light cannabis and organized crime. Evidence from (unintended) liberalization in Italy Vincenzo Carrieri1 Leonardo Madio2 Francesco Principe3 University of Salerno University of York University of Salerno HEDG, University of York HEDG, University of York RWI Research Network Abstract The effect of marijuana liberalization on crime is object of a large interest by social scientists and policy-makers. However, due to the scarcity of relevant data, the displacement effect of liberalization on the supply of illegal drugs remained substantially unexplored. This paper exploits the unintended liberalization of cannabis light (C-light, i.e. with low THC) occurred in Italy in December 2016 by means of a legislative gap, to assess its effect in a quasi-experimental setting. Although the liberalization interested all the Italian territory, the intensity of liberalization in the short-run varied according to the pre-liberalization market configuration of grow-shops, i.e. shops selling industrial canapa-related products that have been able to first place the canapa flowers (C-light) on the new market. We exploit this variation in a Differences-in-Differences design using a unique dataset on monthly confiscations of drugs at province level (NUTS-3 level) over the period 2016-2018 matched with data on the geographical location of shops and socio-demographic variables. We find that the legalization of C-light led to a reduction of 11-12% of confiscation of marijuana per each pre-existing grow-shop and a significant reduction of other canapa-derived drugs (plants of cannabis and hashish).

  • STRUTTURE Cosa Nostra E 'Ndrangheta a Confronto
    STRUTTURE Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi Andrea Zolea WikiMafia – Libera Enciclopedia sulle Mafie www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea La mafia dura da decenni: un motivo ci deve essere. Non si può andare contro i missili con arco e frecce: in queste vicende certe intemperanze si pagano duramente. Con il terrorismo, con il consenso sociale, potevi permettertele: con la mafia non è così. Nella società c’è un consenso distorto. Altro che bubbone in un tessuto sociale sano. Il tessuto non è affatto sano. Noi estirperemo Michele Greco, poi arriverà il secondo, poi il terzo, poi il quarto. Giovanni Falcone 1 www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea PREMESSA Questo lavoro ha lo scopo di offrire uno sguardo d’insieme sulle articolazioni strutturali delle organizzazioni mafiose denominate Cosa nostra e ‘ndrangheta . La prima sezione, curata da Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi, si concentra sull’analisi di Cosa nostra. La seconda sezione, che sposta il focus sulla ‘ndrangheta, è curata da Andrea Zolea. Come si potrà notare, le due sezioni non sono state realizzate secondo uno stesso modello, ma analizzano le due organizzazioni con un approccio differente. Ad esempio, la parte su Cosa nostra avrà un orientamento maggiormente diacronico, diversamente da quella sulla ‘ndrangheta, basata su un approccio sincronico. Il presente testo ha infatti l’obiettivo di offrire due proposte di analisi differenti che riescano a mettere in luce le analogie e le differenze delle strutture delle due organizzazioni mafiose.

  • Unionism and Loyalism
    Unionism and Loyalism Gordon Gillespie 26 June 2018 Unionism: Historical Viewpoint Defines itself in opposition to Irish nationalism. Rejects the idea of a historic Irish nation. Ireland only became a nation after the Act of Union in 1800 (ie within the UK). The 26 counties of the Free State/Irish Republic seceded from the United Kingdom – the six counties of NI did not withdraw from an Irish state. After partition in 1921 the Irish government encouraged political instability in NI by continuing the territorial claim to NI in the Irish constitution (removed in 1999). Academic Definitions Jennifer Todd: Ulster Loyalist – primary loyalty to the NI Protestant community. Ulster British – primary loyalty to the British state/nation. In practice there is an overlap between the two. John McGarry and Brendan O’Leary: Devolutionists – a NI assembly provides best defence against Irish nationalism because British government is unreliable. Integrationists – Union best maintained by legal, political, electoral and administrative integration with the rest of the UK. Norman Porter: Cultural Unionism – rooted in Protestantism. The concepts of liberty and loyalty are central. Liberal Unionism – aims to achieve a similar political way of life as the rest of the UK Unionist and Loyalist Organisations Organisations reflect social and economic divisions in the PUL community. Complicated by emergence of organisations in response to the Troubles or to specific political initiatives. Churches: Presbyterian, Church of Ireland, Methodist, Baptist, etc. Political parties: Ulster Unionist Party, Democratic Unionist Party, Vanguard, etc. Loyal Orders: Orange Order, Apprentice Boys of Derry, Royal Black Preceptory. Paramilitary Organisations: Ulster Volunteer Force, Ulster Defence Association and associated organisations.
