Ports are where contemporary societal dilemmas converge: the (de)regulation of international flows; the (in)visible impact of globalization; the perennial tension between trade and security; and the thin line between legitimate, illicit and illegal.
Ever thought about the complex web of crime and security at our seaports? This episode of 'New Books in Drugs, Addiction and Recovery' dives deep into these often-overlooked areas. Host Geert Slabbekoorn chats with Marshall Poe about the book 'Ports, Crime and Security: Governing and Policing Seaports in a Changing World' by Anna Sergi and colleagues. With the backdrop of COVID-19, Brexit, and the US-China trade disputes, this conversation couldn't be more timely.
You'll get a peek into how ports are hotspots where global issues like trade, security, and organized crime intersect. They explore the thin line between legal and illegal activities, the unseen impacts of globalization, and the tug-of-war between trade and security. The episode also touches on the unique challenges each port faces, emphasizing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
Law enforcement's role in policing these hubs, the murky relationship between organized crime and the private sector, and the looming threat of cyber terrorism are all part of the discussion. Poe points out that ports are constantly bracing for worst-case scenarios, especially in the digital realm. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intricate dance of governance and crime in our seaports. It sheds light on why a multidisciplinary approach is crucial to tackle these challenges effectively.
