AB Part of a special issue on the role of criminal organizations and individuals, and that of political states and their economic partners in transnational crime. A study was conducted to examine transnational crime and local denial in the international antiquities market. Data were obtained from field work, surveys, and interviews with dealers in international antiquities. Findings revealed that a discourse has emerged in the market that is calculated to achieve public effect; acts of dealing and collection are referred to as “preservation,” “cultural edification,” or “private right,” and regulation is regarded as a paranoid response to the performance and enjoyment of these misunderstood duties and rights. Findings suggested, therefore, that denial is a vital element in sustaining the future of antiquities dealing as a business enterprise. Findings are discussed in detail.
