Symposium on Biosecurity and Transnational Environmental Crime
 
 
Pre-Reading

The lead organizer requests that all participants pre-read the materials listed below:

The State of Knowledge of Crimes that have Serious Impacts on the Environment

Framing Bioinvasion: Biodiversity, Climate Change, Security, Trade, and Global Governance *

*Colleagues: this is an article I wrote roughly a decade ago on the framing of biosecurity issues, in particular the problem of invasive species. At this symposium we will discuss the formation of another framing, guided by transnational environmental crime as a conduit for biosecurity threats.
