• Transnational risks of violence - such as ethnic conflicts, organized crime (drug trafficking, money laundering), or terrorism - are both a cause and a feature of a transition from a national to a post-national world. Much evidence suggests that, compared to intrastate conflicts, transnational violence has gained in importance and will continue to do so. Transnational risks change the interplay between sub-national, national, and international actors, as these actors' roles and relative weights shift. The contributors to this book define the phenomenon of transnational risks of violence in the context of the "postnational constellation" and examine its involvement in current conflicts, tracking different forms and complex entanglements of such risks analyzing the concepts, strategies, and instruments that international organizations have adopted to combat transnational risks and promote security and peace.
