""Wow! What an amazing contribution of genuinely global insights on the dynamics of Vietnamese organised crime! This book very successfully shows the success, reach but also persistent vulnerabilities that these organised crime groups and the diaspora more broadly experience. With reach across multiple global illicit markets, and outlining their deep links also with licit structures, I couldn’t agree more with the book’s statement that this “demands a rethinking of organised crime through the lens of transnationalism, ethnicity, and structural vulnerabilities”. Fantastic, enriching insights from a wonderfully diverse set of authors and contributors. Thank you for this very important contribution.” Louise Taylor, Global Initiative against Transnational Organised Crime (GITOC), Director of the GITOC in Asia and the Pacific This book is innovative, illuminating, and important. The 19 chapters provide novel, compelling and incisive analyses of Vietnamese criminal organisations overseas, with case studies covering rhino poaching in South Africa, cannabis farming in Britain, and money laundering vulnerabilities in Vietnam as well as Vietnamese organised crime in Australia, Canada, and the Czech Republic. The authors draw on existing concepts and frameworks and combine them with innovative and exciting research. As a result, the volume significantly augments our knowledge of emergent and under-studied criminal organisations. Phil Williams, Professor Emeritus, University of Pittsburgh
