Summary

Syndicate Power Play explores how organized crime infiltrates and influences legitimate institutions, amassing power that rivals governments and businesses. It examines the key pillars of syndicate influence: financial manipulation, political corruption, and market control. One intriguing insight is how criminal organizations use complex financial instruments to launder money and invest in legitimate businesses, obscuring their activities and exerting influence.

 
The book analyzes how corruption levels correlate with organized crime activity, drawing from case studies, financial data, and interviews with law enforcement and syndicate members. It argues that syndicate power isn't just about violence, but also their strategic leveraging of economic and political systems. This interdisciplinary approach combines criminology, economics, political science, and sociology for a holistic understanding. Uniquely, Syndicate Power Play focuses on the systemic nature of syndicate influence, examining underlying economic and political structures.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview to detailed analyses of financial, political, and business sector influence, concluding with practical recommendations for policymakers and businesses. It provides a clear understanding of how syndicates operate, empowering readers to combat organized crime.

    Leadership under pressure: the personal account of the commander of the Royal Naval Task Group deployed to Libya in 2011.In April 2011, the newly created Royal Navy Response Force Task Group deployed to the Mediterranean to provide a range of military options in response to the Arab Spring. For the next six months the group planned and prepared for a range of potential operations including noncombatant evacuations from Libya, Yemen and Syria, maritime interdiction operations off the Libyan coast, and amphibious landings.  On 3 June the group began launching attack helicopter strikes into Libya and in the nights that followed planned 47 and executed 22 strikes destroying a range of targets including: 54 vehicles, 2 rigid hull boats, 2 BM 21 rocket launchers, 4 main battle tanks, 1 zsu antiaircraft vehicle and 3 command and control nodes. The operation saw the first operational use of Apaches from the sea and the first embarkation of US Army combat search and rescue teams and Blackhawk helicopters in an RN warship.  This is a personal account by the Group’s Commander, which brings to life the challenges of command – including authorizing strikes and mitigating risk to UK aircrew – in a complex and challenging environment. It reveals how closely the RN Group worked with its French counterpart, the support provided by the United States, together with the complexity of working alongside NATO and of simultaneously dealing with a range of UK authorities.  This is a story of leadership under pressure and the remarkable professionalism of all involved and the bravery of Army aircrew. It was modern defense and joinery at its best – British Army and USAF helicopters operating from RN ships, supported by Fleet Air Arm aircraft and fixed wing jets as part of a largely air campaign.

    The question is: What kind of world do we want to live in? The question appears time and again in the pages that follow. It is not a trifling one. We make the world we live in one act and one decision at a time, small and not so small. Few of us pause long enough to think deeply as we go about our everyday lives, busily meeting our everyday needs. It has taken far longer than it should have, but finally the field of applied ethics has expanded its horizons to return to the teaching of ethics across the age spans of elementary school-age children. In the early to mid-1800s, William Holmes McGuffey created a series of books (McGuffey's Readers) that taught character development lessons to lay a foundation of moral and ethical precepts in very young hearts. Several generations of teachers fed the lessons of the Readers into several generations of their students, only to find their Readers falling into subsequent disuse. We are returning to the old to do something new.
    
    Taking ethics education farther and farther back into younger and younger student cohorts is no longer out of fashion. Philosopher ethicists are stepping out of their academic ivory towers to create new and innovative age-correlated ethics teaching resources.
    
    Education has gotten increasingly technical to the abandonment of the ethical. But all is not lost. Research in early childhood development shows that kids as young as two years old possess rudimentary forms of "morality" relating to judgements such as good/bad, right/wrong, and fair/unfair, among others. As publications multiply, focusing on the expanding domain of applied ethics, educational resources are needed to assist teachers in their classroom ethics teaching activities. Today, more than ever, we need resources to raise ethically minded adults-in-the-making able to stand well above today's cultural currents, see dangers, and make fine-grained decisions as to the right and wrong of things.
