Abstract:	This study addresses the variety and trends of organised crime in West Africa, the impact of organised crime on peace, stability, development and the rule of law, transnational linkages of organised crime, and linkages between state institutions/politics and organised crime. Chapters concentrate on organised crime and governance in West Africa (Etannibi E.O. Alemika), the Gulf of Guinea with a focus on Nigeria (Moses U. Ikoh), The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal (Alioune Badara Gueye); Mano River Union member countries (Alphaeus Koroma); and Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger (Daouda Diallo Boubacar). In the conclusion the editor adresses new ways of fighting organised crime. [ASC Leiden abstract]
