'This book makes a challenging contribution to peacekeeping and peacebuilding methodology. It successfully treads a delicate line that does not endorse colluding with organised criminal groups - rather the books discussion recognises their existence and influence as a reality in conflict settings. Those involved in planning and providing peacekeeping and peacebuilding need to acknowledge the reality of organised crime and develop ways of working that includes interacting with such entities if this will contribute to improvements in the security and well-being of ordinary people. This book presents invaluable learning and guidance that will help them to do so more effectively.'-Richard Slade -Coventry University, JCTS
