Abstract
Strategic Export Violation (SEV) illicit trade data are well-suited for social network analysis. Converting the data into networks creates intuitive images that identify patterns of 21st century proliferation, such as frequent conduit and end destinations. Parsing the SEV’s overall network into subnetworks of military, dual-use, and commercial observations provides further enhanced glimpses into the hidden population of illicit trade.
