Illegal garbage emergency in Italy. A comparative analysis on the phenomenon of Ecomafia in the Southern regions of Calabria, Campania and Sicilia.

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
The paper provides an account of the illegal waste disposal activities committed by the three major Italian organized crimes namely Camorra, Cosa Nostra and ‘Ndrangheta. ‘Ecomafia’ is the term used to describe the divisions of criminal networks that operate in the illegal trafficking and disposal of waste. Guided by the theoretical framework of Illegal Enterprise Theory, the paper aims to illustrate why certain Italian regions have higher incidences of the phenomenon of Ecomafia.
