Abstract: This research aims to illustrate the characteristics of illegal transports of e-waste as a transnational environmental crime flow. It looks at the environmental problems at the basis of its criminalization: what actors are involved, what the nature of the phenomena is and what its impact, harm and vulnerabilities are. This will provide meaning to the second goal of our research which focuses on the governance of transnational environmental crime flows. The aim is to map governance nodes and networks and pay attention to different actors involved, to their interactions and potentially different finalities. We try to answer to these research goals by means of a case study research into illegal transports of e-waste. This presentation focuses on the characteristics of this phenomenon (goal 1), and briefly discusses preliminary results about its governance (goal 2).
