It is argued that since this discoursedefines transnational crime as a threat to global society, it makes politically viable the deployment of policing andmilitary interventions in defence of the world population. In order to expose this, this article reconstructs the trajectoriesof the discourse on organized criminality. The article first analyses the emergence of the discourse in the United Statesduring the 1950s, afterwards analysing it as an issue of transnational scope during the last two decades. Thus the aimhere is to underline the importance that a phenomenon such as crime has had on the governance at a global level."
