Abstract

Organised crime groups represent a special threat to electoral democracies. In recent decades, these groups have had an increasing influence on policy and elections through bribery, threats, and violence. The 2023 assassination of a presidential candidate in Ecuador, ordered by a jailed member of the Mexican Sinaloa cartel, demonstrates the trans-national nature of this threat. Organised criminal groups also make campaign donations and promote their own members for election. This panel explores the roles of organised crime in electoral democracies.
