Rajesh Manohar Basrur S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies DRNTU::Social sciences::Political science 48 p. The collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequent ethnic conflicts led to the creation of four largely unrecognized and isolated, yet de facto sovereign, political entities. Their emergence coincided with the rise of transnational organised crime with which they became involved. In contrast to popular assumptions, this dissertation argues that these post-Soviet de facto states are not inherently criminalized lawless territories. Their claims to independence are based on strong, historical, cultural and humanitarian arguments, as well as on the empirical qualifications for sovereign statehood. In this context, their relationship with transnational organised crime is, to a great extent, an unwanted result of their political unrecognition and economic isolation. Hence, any effective strategy aimed at combating transnational crime and ensuring stability in these regions, should be based on some form of political and economic engagement Master of Science (Strategic Studies) 2011-12-27T07:30:35Z 2011-12-27T07:30:35Z 2010 2010 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10356/47432 Nanyang Technological University application/pdf
