Interstate Crime, Economic Crisis and Government Building

I'm always attentive to stories which point out how criminals actions which cross state or national borders lead to national or international institutions to combat them. The following story about murders committed by long haul truck drivers is one.

We can also put the recent G-20 meetings where international regulations on the financial system were proposed is another.

My hunch is that in the current environment, crime and crisis -- both economic and military -- precede the establishment of governing institutions.
