Organized and white-collar crime and corruption have a huge impact on financial systems worldwide and must be confronted if true financial reform is to be achieved. Drawn from the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Academic Council on the United Nations System, this book explores the major themes discussed at this elite symposium. It examines changing concepts in security and the expansion of the role of the Security Council of the UN. Expert contributors reveal methods to identify criminals and efforts to combat illegal activity. They also investigate alternative approaches to preventing another worldwide financial disaster.
