PROJECTS
This project seeks to assess key safe haven hubs of global illicit trade, examining their impact, sectors affected, COVID-19-related threats, facilitating factors, policy responses, convergence of illicit trade types, involvement of legitimate economy actors, and the role of corruption, aiming to inform efforts to disrupt illegal networks and illicit markets globally.
The Global Terrorism Trends and Analysis Center (GTTAC) is a collaborative project led by Development Services Group (DSG) involving TraCCC staff and students using AI to identify open-source reporting on global terrorist incidents and provide data and analysis for the U.S. State Department's Annual Country Reports on Global Terrorism, with a diverse team including native speakers of various languages and contributors from different departments at George Mason University.
