Book review: conflict and transnational crime: borders, bullets and business in Southeast Asia by Florian Weigand

In Conflict and Transnational Crime: Borders, Bullets and Business in Southeast Asia, Florian Weigand explores the links between armed conflict and transnational crime by focusing on four conflict-affected border areas in Southeast Asia. The book offers a cogent and compelling study of both the connections and disconnections between crime and conflict in Southeast Asia, writes Alessandro Ford, encouraging readers to recognise how binaries of state and organised crime, licit and illicit, can obscure complex phenomena.
