Mafia, Deviant Masons and Corruption: Shifty Brotherhoods in Italy (Routledge Studies in Organised Crime)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (29886 ratings)

Description:This book is the first to consider the intersection between mafia power and deviant masonic lodges within the political sphere of the contemporary Italian state. At its core, it offers an analysis of the shifting interactions across powerful actors and the ways in which they balance reciprocal obedience, and a unique insight into the political processes where mafia actors and deviant lodges play a significant role in the allocation of resources. Mafia, Masons and Power draws on a wealth of literature from across criminology and political science and a range of primary data sources including judicial files indictments, arrest warrants, intercepted materials and sentences for key cases, official documentation from Parliamentary commissions and special committees of inquiry, rituals of affiliation and codes of initiation, and interviews with prosecutors and masons belonging to some of the main lodges in Italy. In doing so it redefines how we have come to understand the relationship between mafias and power in Italy. It considers how criminal groups are defined and enriched by a relational capital in shifty environments where every actor assumes often a double nature: the mafia boss acts as an entrepreneur; the entrepreneur acts as a politician; the politician mixes with masons; a deviant mason supports mafia organisations.This book is a major contribution to the literature on mafias and organised crime across criminology, sociology and political science, and will be of great interest students, researchers, scholars and engaged general readers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
