Beschreibung

"Food Smuggling" explores the hidden world of illegal food trade, revealing how ordinary items become contraband and fuel complex criminal networks. This true crime and history narrative uncovers the economic incentives, historical roots, and human impact of smuggling. For instance, trade restrictions and tariffs throughout history have driven individuals to risk illegal transportation, mirroring situations from the colonial sugar trade to modern embargoes. The book uniquely blends historical analysis with contemporary case studies. It examines specific smuggled goods—from European dairy products to luxury items like caviar—detailing smuggling routes, involved actors, and consequences for local economies and public health. Furthermore, it highlights how food smuggling, often an economic crime, is a symptom of systemic issues such as unequal resource access and flawed trade policies, reflecting the desperation of those seeking sustenance or profit. The book progresses by first defining food smuggling and differentiating it from legitimate trade. It then delves into case studies and concludes by assessing countermeasures employed by governments and international organizations. This approach offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics within global trade and cross-border law enforcement.
