Acknowledgements
This book has been a pleasant and important experience. I will always remem-
ber the dim light in the University of Bielefeld’s library in an evening of mid-
2006, when I—just having fi nished my PhD research—was thinking of what
would be my next research topic. I had several ideas, yet felt that there still
was something broader to be explored. Then I passed a journal on global
crime in the shelf, and I was immediately attracted to it. I am still happy and
grateful for this moment, even if convincing others of the importance of
this subject was partly more diffi cult than I expected. But in the end, it was
well worth it, and I still do not feel any desire to change my research subject.
I hope readers of this book can understand why.
Many people have contributed to my positive experience as a scientist so
far. I am unable to mention all remarks and questions I profi ted from, so
I restrict myself to those with whom I was in exchange about specifi c theoreti-
cal or empirical parts of this project at different points in time. Among them
are Gili S. Drori, Susanne Fischer, Karin Svedberg Helgesson, Georg Krücken,
John W. Meyer, Mark T. Nance, Christopher J. Paun, Francisco Ramirez, Jason
Sharman, Jens Steffek, Eleni Tsingou, and Klaus Dieter Wolf. Collectively,
I would like to thank conference participants at APSA, ISA, and other meet-
ings for good discussions and important thoughts. Parke Nicholson has been
a patient, humorous, and highly constructive language editor. Margaretha
Mühlichen, Bastian Herre, and Svenja Bergemann provided valuable research
and administrative assistance for this book.
The Peace Research Institute Frankfurt has been a great and fl exible place
to host my research in recent years. The German Research Foundation (DFG)
funded major parts of this research through the ‘Cluster of Excellence:
Normative Orders’ at Frankfurt. I also profi ted from Stanford University and
the Department for Sociology where I spend a wonderful spring as Visiting
Researcher in 2011, fi nishing the fi rst parts of this book. The work on this book
was also facilitated by visiting professorships at the University of Frankfurt,
the University of Bielefeld, and the University of Giessen.
