International Cooperation against Illicit Trade
From human trafficking to smuggling small arms to looting antiquities, illicit        trade poses significant threats to international order. So why is it difficult to        establish international cooperation against illicit trade? Governing Guns,        Preventing Plunder offers a novel, thought-provoking answer to this crucial        question.Conventional wisdom holds that it is criminal groups that obstruct efforts        to suppress illicit trade. In contrast, Asif Efrat explains how legitimate actors,        such as museums that acquire looted antiquities, seek to hinder these regulatory        efforts. Yet, such attempts to evade regulation fuel international political        conflicts between governments that demand action against illicit trade and others        that are reluctant to cooperate. The book offers a framework for understanding the        domestic origins of these conflicts and how the distribution of power shapes their        outcome. Through this framework, Efrat explains why the interests of governments        vary across countries, trades, and time. In a fascinating empirical analysis, he        solves a variety of puzzles: Why is the international regulation of small arms much        weaker than international drug control? What led the United States and Britain to        oppose the efforts against plunder of antiquities and why did they ultimately join        these efforts? How did American pressure motivate Israel to tackle sex trafficking?        Efrat's findings will change the way we think about illicit trade, offering valuable        insights for scholars, activists, and policymakers.
