SUMMARY:ILLICIT TRADE IN GOODS:  COMMON AND DISTINCTIVE FEATURES AND RELATED RESEARCH GAPS
DESCRIPTION:GLITSS aims to contribute to the development of a better understanding of the phenomenon of illicit trade.\nWorking Group 1 of GLITSS organized a workshop at the beginning of June at the Prague University of Economics and Business\, where researchers and practitioners from different fields convened to discuss various aspects of illicit trade. Presentations and discussions sought to bring more clarity to the shared characteristics and boundaries of the illicit trade phenomenon and also identify related research gaps.\nWe would like to thank all our participants and speakers for making this event a success!

SUMMARY:ILLICIT TRADE IN GOODS:  COMMON AND DISTINCTIVE FEATURES AND RELATED RESEARCH GAPS
DESCRIPTION:Background\nCOST Action GLITSS aims to create a holistic research agenda on illicit trade practices\, to increase public awareness with a view to enhancing societal resilience and to explore how technological innovation facilitates illicit trade but can also be used to fight it. This workshop is organized by the Working Group ‘The phenomena: Goods and money’ that focuses on the ‘phenomena’ making up illicit trade\, providing a forum for discussion between all those who study the ‘goods’ (counterfeiting\, smuggling\, trafficking etc.) and the ‘capital’ (money laundering\, tax evasion etc.). The workshop is envisioned as a platform for sharing best practices\, proposing effective strategies\, and encouraging collective action against this illicit trade phenomenon. \nObjectives\nThis workshop aims to assemble a diverse array of experts\, scholars\, policymakers\, and concerned stakeholders from various sectors to discuss the characteristics of illicit trade and as a result contributing to the development of more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. \nThe central questions explored in this workshop will be: What are the common and distinctive features of the phenomenon of ‘illicit trade’? The following sub-questions will guide the discussion during the workshop: \n\nWhat are the boundaries of the phenomenon ‘illicit trade’\, for example\, how does it relate to phenomena like organized crime or corruption?\nWhat does ‘illicit’ mean and when certain practices become so?\nWhat are the characteristics of illicit trade across various research disciplines?\nWhat are the sectoral (e.g.\, drug trafficking vs illicit trade in gemstones) and regional characteristics of illicit trade?\nHow is the concept of illicit financial flows related to the phenomenon of illicit trade in goods?\nWhat are the underlying methods and evolving trends in the illicit trade of goods?\nWho are the key actors involved in the illicit trade or along the smuggling network?\nWhat are the best practices and lessons learned from regulatory efforts?\n\nBy addressing these questions\, the workshop aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of illicit trade\, promote effective policies\, and foster collaborative efforts to combat this problem. The primary outcome of the workshop will be a drafted research agenda that not only indicates the main research gaps requiring further exploration to answer the aforementioned questions but also outlines the goals and priorities for future research activities. \nFormat\nThe workshop will be carried out in a hybrid format\, with 10-15 in-person participants and the option to attend via the web. It will take place in Kyiv or Prague. The event spans two days and comprises various sessions. The precise schedule will be determined once the participants are confirmed. The sessions will include presentations and discussions on the aforementioned topics. Additionally\, some sessions will be specifically dedicated to joint discussions aimed at formulating a research agenda and plans for future (joint) publications. \nSubmission and deadlines\nGLITSS members are invited to express their interest to attend the workshop by choosing one of the roles: \n\nSpeakers: abstract up to 200 words (including disciplinary perspectives\, methods\, and preliminary results).\nYoung researchers and innovators: motivation letter up to 200 words;\nDiscussants: summary up to 100 words providing a description of the applicant’s research interests in connection to the workshop objectives.\n\nThe deadline for submission is 29 February 2024. \nThe selected participants will be informed by 15 March 2024 via email. \nPlease submit your proposals via Google form – https://forms.gle/JgogAC5tALNpDQko8 \nBased on selected proposals\, workshop organizers will determine the exact scope and might invite additional participants (stakeholders\, experts\, politicians etc) to contribute to the event.
