There is also a book edited by Leslie Holes on "Terrorism, Organised Crime and Corruption" published by Edward Elgar during 2007
Some interesting work in Russia by Rolf-Inge Vogt ANDRESEN. He states 'the terrorist threat in Russia is first and foremost a threat from organised crime'. This tends to describe a nexus in a very pure form...A thought provoking departure from the traditional notion of terroism as a form of political violence...
Russia has in this regard indeed an interesting history. For example, was Joseph Vissarionovich Djugashvili an elaborate bank robber (as the local police would see him), a terrorist (as the Tsar would describe him) or a revolutionary 'man of steel' as he labelled himself?
One could argue that the whole new idea of a Terror-OC nexus is just a modern academic construct: in reality the border between both has never been very unambiguous.
