The study found that the features of modern transnational organized crime are: rapid adaptation to realities, instant response to changes and transformations in life and economy, the ability to improve and adjust the methods and tools used in activities; coordination; rationality; thoughtfulness and systematic actions; systematization; the desire to minimize potential risks and get the most profit and maximum profits. Such models of transnational organized crime as: corporate, trade unions, partnerships, ethnic, network are considered. Modern transnational criminal groups, regardless of model, have been shown to be “well-concealed, well-off criminal communities with a well-defined internal structure, distribution of spheres of influence and functions, and extensive interregional or international ties. It is emphasized that now transnational crime is turning into cybercrime. This is made possible by the fact that it is easier to hide criminal activity on the Internet, anonymity is ensured, and it is possible to act uncontrollably, which, in turn, guarantees security for criminal activity

The Difference

The fifth chapter analyzes the bottom tier of an ethnic network that brought credit from global financiers to the merchants and farmers of the Gulf South, exploring how the Southern firms with which Lehman Brothers worked dispersed this global investment throughout local economies. In some instances, Lehman Brothers’ customers sold directly to rural farmers and plantation owners, providing them with the credit necessary to purchase farming needs, foodstuffs, and personal goods. But in other instances, firms with which Lehman Brothers worked extended credit to smaller shopkeepers, who could then stock their own shelves at the start of the season, sell goods to their customers on credit, and, if all went well, be repaid by their customers after the harvest. For these smaller businesses, this line of credit was the difference between success and failure, particularly when the vicissitudes of the economy necessitated leniency from creditors. While this leniency was risky for lenders, trust-based economic networks mitigated risk. In this way, Jewish merchants created an ethnic niche in the cotton industry, securing global investment, funneling it to the South, and dispersing it throughout local economies.

Entrepreneurial Activities

Our objective in this article is to understand the characteristics of the entrepreneurship of the population of Lebanese origin in Côte d’Ivoire from the perspective of the ethnic network. In other words, it is about appreciating impacts of the Lebanese ethnic network on the development of their entrepreneurial activities, by scrutinizing the modalities such as the support for the immigration, the departure in business, the discovery of the entrepreneurial opportunity, the financing of the entrepreneurship and even the motive in the entrepreneurial commitment. To this end, this article joined within the framework of the studies relative to the ethnic and/or immigrant entrepreneurship. This research thus left the Anglo-Saxon literature on the ethnic entrepreneurship and a field survey to seize how the ethnic network constitutes a major element of the economic integration of the Lebanese by the entrepreneurship in Côte d’Ivoire. In fact, their ethnic network of the Lebanese boosts their entrepreneurship through a shape of selection in the immigration; the family unit - by the tourism or the visit of the family - organizing the arrival of the new migrant until the obtaining of its first employment pending the acquisition of the Ivorian experience or the capital of the future business and the discovery of the entrepreneurial opportunity.

Recent research on the linguistic adjustment of minority-language-speaking immigrants in several destinations has found that acquisition of destination language skills is inhibited by living in an area where many others speak the same minority language. This chapter uses a unique data set for Australia (1988) that includes a variety of ethnic network variables to analyze the role of the language concentration measure. These ethnic variables, in particular, ethnic press, relatives in Australia, and spouse's origin language, are highly statistically significant. Their inclusion in the equation eliminates the effect of the minority-language concentration variable. The model for analyzing the determinants of English reading and English writing skills in Australia is also shown to be very similar to the model for speaking fluency, including the effect of the ethnic network variables.

Using Data

This study examines why some Vietnamese American young people appear to be doing extraordinarily well in school American schools, and how relations within families are related to school achievement. It argues that sibling cooperation is significantly associated with Vietnamese academic achievement, and that cooperation among siblings should be understood as a product of ethnic normative expectations regarding family relations. The study employs ethnographic data from observations and interviews to describe how ethnic social relations may contribute to cooperation within families. Using data from Vietnamese American students in Louisiana public high schools, it finds that family relations, in the form of cooperation among siblings, do make an important contribution to academic achievement, but that cooperative relations within families are sustained by close ties of family members to a surrounding ethnic network.

The article examines the occupational mobility of immigrants in Italy in a double perspective. First, this work compares immigrants and natives in order to understand whether, and to what extent, in a country characterized overall by low social mobility, natives and migrants have the same chances for improving their social position, or the latter are disadvantaged on an ethnic basis that affects their career (research question 1). Then, the article investigates what are the factors (referring to immigrants’ human capital, socio-cultural assimilation process and ethnic network) fostering occupational mobility among immigrants (research question 2). We conduct an ordinary least squares analysis on microdata from two retrospective cross-sectional surveys, for natives and migrants, with the same sample design, questionnaire structure and variable classification, thereby allowing the comparison of results. The empirical findings confirm that intra-generational occupational mobility in Italy is overall very limited but that geographical origin is a significant factor influencing upward mobility. Thus, the existence of an ethnic penalty is confirmed. Furthermore, among migrants, high human capital improves (short-range) upward mobility, while the socio-cultural assimilation process only partly leads to economic assimilation. Conversely, the recourse to the ethnic network acts as a trap in low-qualified occupational careers, hindering an improvement of socio-economic position.

Purpose Possessing a strong ethnic identity and ethnic network are described in some epidemiological literature as moderating factors in the relation between perceived discrimination and varying types of substance use in people with a migration background (PMB). The purpose of this paper is to qualitatively explore problem use, discrimination, ethnic identity and social networks in a small purposive sample of users with a Turkish and Eastern European migration background in Ghent, Belgium. Design/methodology/approach The authors present data retrieved within the framework of a qualitative community-based participatory research study that primarily aims to understand the nature of substance use in PMB. In the secondary analysis, the authors focus on a sub-study examining substance use by people with a Turkish (n=55) and Eastern European (n=62) migration background and explore how individuals perceive discrimination, ethnic identity and (ethnic) social networks in 117 qualitative interviews. Findings Almost all the respondents in this study reported perceived (inter-)ethnic discrimination. The authors establish that problem users in this study have a complex but albeit weak sense of ethnic identity nor do they have a strong ethnic network. This, in combination with perceived discrimination, is a risk factor for continued problem substance use and may hamper recovery related to problem use. Originality/value This article intends to lay the groundwork for future research that should focus more on longitudinally studying the intertwined relation between problem use, discrimination, ethnic identity and especially social instead of solely ethnic networks, their complex nature as well as their relation to recovery processes among persons with a migration background.
