Misha Glenny:
Misha Glenny (born 1958) is a British journalist who specializes in Balkans and global organized crime. He was educated at an independent school, Magdalen College School, in Oxford, and studied at Bristol University and Prague's Charles University before becoming Central Europe correspondent for the The Guardian and later the BBC. He specialised in reporting on the Balkans independence wars in the late 1980s and early 1990s that followed the collapse of Yugoslavia. While at the BBC, Glenny won 1993's Sony Gold Award for his 'outstanding contribution to broadcasting' . He has also written three books about Central and Eastern Europe. His latest book McMafia (2008) is about international organised crime, which, he writes, may now account for 20 per cent of the world's GDP. Glenny advised the US and some European governments on policy issues and for three years ran an NGO helping with the reconstruction of Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo.
