This chapter introduces the main forms of transnational environmental crime (TEC): wildlife smuggling, timber trafficking, black market in ozone depleting substances and the illegal trade in hazardous waste. It focuses on relationships of exchange between traders and markets as a form of enterprise crime that operates through transnational networks, and it examines the form and function of TEC governance as a response to that illicit form of transnational political economy.
