Transnational risks of violence - such as ethnic conflicts, organized crime (drug trafficking, money laundering), or terrorism - are both a cause and a feature of a transition from a national to a post-national world. Much evidence suggests that, compared to intrastate conflicts, transnational violence has gained in importance and will continue to do so. Transnational risks change the interplay between sub-national, national, and international actors, as these actors' roles and relative weights shift.
