This document provides information about the WAITO Foundation and its mission to combat global security threats. It summarizes a book examining processes that impact global security such as cybercrime, drug trafficking organizations, and transnational terrorism. To effectively fight the proliferation of dangers in a time of worldwide chaos, the book argues that states must optimize information collection and analysis, make it less expensive, and develop early warning systems. The WAITO Foundation aims to further the understanding of globalization's security challenges.
1. World Anti-Illicit Traffic Organization
The New Global Dangers Worlwide Chaos, Early Detection
Through its theoretical scope, this book provides a profound re-examination of the processes that
determine our security: cyber-criminality, guerrillas turned drug traffickers, mega-gangs, rogue states,
transnational terrorism, etc.
At a time of worldwide chaos, how can we fight effectively against the proliferation of dangers? Faced
with the re-tribalisation of the world, how do we prevent, control, suppress or attack? Any strategy for
global security that is based on the rules and standards of the past is bound to fail. To meet the
challenges of the new worldwide chaos, sovereign states must optimise the collection and analysis of
strategic information, make it less expensive and design a doctrine based on early alerts. This is a study
for understanding the dark side of globalisation.
