La mafia est, d’ores et déjà, très infiltrée dans l’économie légale : pour la seule Italie, on estime son chiffre d’affaires à 135 milliards d’euros. Ce faisant, et c’est ce qui la rend singulière dans la galaxie du crime organisé, elle recherche moins le profit que le pouvoir. Le temps qui passe la renforce : la mafia est une organisation pérenne qui sait s’adapter à des changements majeurs de paradigme – elle a ainsi survécu sans dommage au passage du féodalisme au capitalisme en Sicile ou du socialisme au capitalisme en Russie. Sur ce sujet, les économistes sont bien silencieux, car le modèle dominant est incapable de percevoir les caractéristiques du système mafieux. La supposée frontière entre activités légales et illégales, qui présume une homogénéité de chacune de ces sphères économiques, n’est ici plus valable. Il est indispensable, pour comprendre le fonctionnement économique de la mafia, et envisager des formes de luttes efficaces, de développer un cadre alternatif. L’approche proposée par Clotilde Champeyrache est l’approche institutionnaliste, intégrant l’économie du crime et l’économie du droit, indispensable pour comprendre comment le pouvoir mafieux se construit et se consolide dans le temps.

The Sicilian Mafia, or Cosa Nostra, is one of the most intriguing criminal phenomena in the world. It is an unparalleled organised criminal grouping that over almost two centuries has been able not only to successfully permeate licit and illicit economy, politics and civil society, but also to influence and exercise authoritative power over both the underworld and the upper-world. This criminal phenomenon has been a captivating conundrum for scholars of different disciplines who have tried to explain with various paradigms the reasons behind the emergence and consolidation of the mafia. Challenging the Mafia Mystique provides an analysis of the changes the Sicilian mafia has undergone, from legitimisation to denunciation. Rino Coluccello highlights how, from the very emergence of the organised criminal groups in Sicily, a culture existed that was protective and tolerant of the mafia. He argues that the various conceptualisations of the mafia that dominated the public and scientific debate in the nineteenth and more than half of the twentieth century created a mystique, which legitimised the mafia and contributed to their success. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of organised crime, Italian politics and Italian literature.

Reversible Destiny traces the history of the Sicilian mafia to its nineteenth-century roots and examines its late twentieth-century involvement in urban real estate and construction as well as drugs. Based on research in the regional capital of Palermo, this book suggests lessons regarding secretive organized crime: its capacity to reproduce a subculture of violence through time, its acquisition of a dense connective web of political and financial protectors during the Cold War era, and the sad reality that repressing it easily risks harming vulnerable people and communities. Charting the efforts of both the judiciary and a citizen's social movement to reverse the mafia's economic, political, and cultural power, the authors establish a framework for understanding both the difficulties and the accomplishments of Sicily's multifaceted antimafia efforts.
