Transport and security
Transportation represents a key “choke point” for destabilizing commodity flows such as weapons, narcotics and illicit precious minerals that negatively impact on global peace and security.
The Countering Illicit Trafficking – Mechanism Assessment Project (CIT-MAP) has a focus on non-state actors and networks involved in transportation. Areas include airborne and maritime commodity flows, open source intelligence (OSI), collaborative information-sharing models and clearinghouses.
CIT-MAP takes a multi-disciplinary approach, undertaking action-orientated research to present options for policy makers, mainly within a European Union (EU) context.
