This WG will deal with both the physical and organisational structures which allow, facilitate and create illicit trade practices. This includes research into governance, infrastructure, norms and the illicit/licit economy paradox, among other issues. This WG will focus on the “rules of the game”, stirring discussion on the governance of sanctions (actors, norms and institutions) and on the infrastructure of illicit trade (including the interaction between the material and the human elements).

COST Action GLITSS (CA21133)

The Cost Action GLITSS is a network of scholars, practitioners and civil society representatives working on Globalization, Illicit Trade, Sustainability and Security. It aims at bringing together scholars and practitioners in the area of illicit trade who work in institutional silos and hardly cooperate with each other. GLITSS intends to contribute to create an epistemic community of experts on illicit trade matters.
