N2 - The idea that mafias are able to expand in distant territories to conduct their illegal activities dates back to the rise of the alien conspiracy approach to organized crime in the 1950s, although only in recent years influential scholars have started using the expression “transnational organized crime” to refer to this phenomenon.
