The challenges posed by globalization are the focus of both a new eJournal USA and an IIP webchat with one of the ejournal's contributing authors. American University professor Louise Shelley, a noted expert on transnational crime, will be available to answer your questions on a new phenomenon that appeared at the end of the 20th century -- the simultaneous worldwide manifestation of crime, terror and corruption, an "unholy trinity" of globalization.

Guest Biography: Louise Shelley is a professor in the School of International Service and founder and director of the Transnational Crime and Corruption Center at American University in Washington. A leading expert on terrorism, she is the author of Policing Soviet Society and Crime and Modernization, as well as numerous articles and book chapters on all aspects of transnational crime.
