Political Science Professor Robert Hislope teaches the class this spring term. The twist on entrepreneurship that his students address is the role of entrepreneurial criminals (or criminal entrepreneurs) in global politics.
From left are Dennis Hoffman '85, Jim McCormick '08 and Economics Professor Hal Fried. |
Topics for the research projects and posters include: sex trafficking and sex tourism in the Balkans and Asia; kleptocratic elites in Africa and Latin America; petrostates and corruption; arms dealers, pirates, and the privatization of warfare and the role of corruption and organized crime during post-communist transitions.
