Book Review. Corruption and Organized Crime in Europe. Illegal partnerships, by Philip Gounev and Vincenzo Ruggiero (eds)

The book Corruption and Organized Crime in Europe. Illegal partnerships analyzes the relationships between corruption and organized crime across the 27 Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU). The findings presented in it draw mainly on a research project carried out by the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD) and funded by the European Commission in 2009–2010. On the basis of qualitative data collected in in-depth interviews with experts and information from the literature, the book compares how organized criminals use corruption in different European countries.
