| Publisher Description: The purpose of this book is to establish whether or not there is a link between the Chinese government, transnational organized crime, and terrorist organizations operating in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Latin America and explore possible strategic implications. The author utilized a combination of structured analytic techniques in order to examine relationships among state and non-state actors and identify the intentions of each while maintaining an unbiased perspective. This book focuses on transnational organized crime and terrorist organizations actively operating in the TBA and the scope of Chinese involvement. The study concludes that evidence supports a convergence of transnational organized crime, terrorist organizations, and corruption within the TBA. Evidence does not implicate the Chinese government in supporting narco-terrorism in the region. However, expanding China-Latin America ties further complicate the current security environment. |
