Join Us for a Conversation on Crime, Law, and Political Economy with Professor Jarrett Blaustein of the Australian National University co-author of Unraveling the Crime-Development Nexus 2022

When: March 21, 2023; 2:30-4:00 pm

Where: Selznick Seminar Room, 2240 Piedmont Avenue

To RSVP Contact: Professor Jonathan Simon, jss...@berkeley.edu

Crime, corruption and lawlessness are increasingly framed as obstacles to
sustainable development. Unraveling the Crime-Development Nexus (with Tom
Chodor and Nathan W. Pino) interrogates this issue linkage, accounts for its
historical construction, and considers what its institutionalization as part of the
Sustainable Development Goals implies for the future of global governance.
Utilizing a neo-Gramscian lens, the book analyzes the historical development of
this discourse as an element of the international crime policy and development
agendas to illustrate how its construction and mobilization have long been
responsive to the interests of dominant social forces in the global economy. It has
repeatedly been invoked and reinvented to advance the expansion of global
capitalism and manage its disruptive effects, while reproducing the marginalized
position of those in the developing world. The book concludes that a
‘harm-sustainability’ frame may support more equitable and sustainable
governance practices that respond to the structural causes of criminalized harms
and uneven development.

Bio: Jarrett Blaustein is an Associate Professor and the Director of Education in the
School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) at The Australian National
University, and was recently appointed as an Associate Editor of Policing &
Society. He holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh and his interdisciplinary
research explores how and why societies govern and deliver security during
periods of change, crisis, and instability.
