My scholarly pursuits are driven by security as the cornerstone of prosperity and democracy,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Professor Christian Leuprecht, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션03, who holds appointments in political studies and the School of Policy Studies at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. A German immigrant who appreciates the fragility of democracy, he wanted to work in an area that not only allows it to thrive, but also helps solve real problems the world faces. He found it by focusing on national security. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Few scholars write about financial crime, even though it카지노 게임 컬렉션s an outsized challenge for the global economy,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Prof. Leuprecht. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is a domestic policy area where Canada could actually have a disproportionate impact on making Canadian communities and the world safer and better for all. But data and information are scarce to make effective policy, so we set about to change that.카지노 게임 컬렉션 

Supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and a generous donation by Donna Watts, spouse of late Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Principal Ronald L. Watts, Prof. Leuprecht and a team of graduate students and undergraduate research assistants embarked on the onerous work of collecting, coding, and analyzing a wealth of comparative data. Prof. Leuprecht카지노 게임 컬렉션s book, , takes Canada to task for its lacklustre record and half-hearted measures. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션The prevalence of financial crime in Canada has deleterious consequences on everything from housing prices to drug use and fentanyl overdoses. Walk downtown and witness the impact financial crime has on the social fabric of our communities,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 

Prof. Leuprecht intends for Dirty Money to spark a broader conversation about the many ways the illicit international political economy affects Canadians카지노 게임 컬렉션 everyday lives. And that conversation needs to be had, he insists, because generating political will at all levels of government depends on voters understanding what카지노 게임 컬렉션s at stake. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Governments really have not made this a priority, in part because it카지노 게임 컬렉션s seen as a victimless crime,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션For example, extremist nationalism, foreign interference, human trafficking, online child exploitation, sanctions evasion 카지노 게임 컬렉션 all thrive on financial crime and, particularly, the drug trade is the single largest driver of financial crime in the world. With drugs come violence and exploitation 카지노 게임 컬렉션 real crimes with real victims.카지노 게임 컬렉션  

As director of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Institute of Intergovernmental Relations (IIGR), Prof. Leuprecht co-edited the volume with Canadian expat Jamie Ferrill, who is Discipline Lead of Financial Crime Studies at Australia카지노 게임 컬렉션s Charles Sturt 카지노게임사이트. The 15-chapter book is dedicated to the late Prof. Arthur J. Cockfield, Law카지노 게임 컬렉션93, with whom Prof. Leuprecht had initially conceived this project. Prof. Cockfield, distinguished Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumnus, and some of Prof. Leuprecht카지노 게임 컬렉션s students collaborated on chapters of the book.  

Dirty Money reinvigorates and relaunches the IIGR카지노 게임 컬렉션s series Canada: The State of the Federation, in partnership with McGill-Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Press, with five volumes in the works on a range of topics.  

카지노 게임 컬렉션This book reflects traditional strengths at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and the IIGR that bolster research capacity and skills development in public policy, public administration, and public management in the context of comparative federalism, federal governance, and multi-level governance,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Prof. Leuprecht explains. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In the process, it lowers the cost of entry for decision-makers and students to raise the level of informed debate and spawn future scholarship.카지노 게임 컬렉션
