Introduction: Criminal Entities as a Distinct Typology of Non-state Actors and Its Role in South America
摘要
Recognizing the broad range of non-state actors discussed in scholarly literature, this book specifically concentrates on a distinct subset. More precisely, the focus is directed toward the examination of criminal non-state actors (CNSAs), which have played a significant role in shaping the recent history of South America. A novel perspective is introduced regarding the conceptualization of criminal actors, positioning them as a distinct typology among non-state actors.
