The expansion of organised crime across national borders has become a key security concern for the international community. This book examines some of the most widespread myths about the so-called Albanian Mafia. The narratives presented are about the dynamic relationship between culture, politics, and transnational organised crime, and are based on more than a decade of empirical and ethnographic research on the causes, codes of conduct, activities, migration, and structure of Albanian organised crime groups in the Balkans, Western Europe, and the U.S.
