This book examines the dynamics of terrorist financing,
including a discussion about the importance of money from both the
terrorist and the counter-terrorist perspective.
Targeting Terrorist Financing argues that it is not the
institutions that have failed the war on terrorist financing;
rather it is the states that have failed the institutions. The
measures contemplated by the world community to interdict
terrorists and their financial infrastructures are sufficient to
debilitate the terrorists both militarily and financially. However,
what has been increasingly lacking is political will among the
states, and this has overwhelmed the spirit of cooperation in this
very critical front against terrorism.
This volume assesses the need for international cooperation and
the role of institutions and regimes in targeting terrorist
financing. After the 9/11 attacks, there was an expression of
global willingness to target terrorism generally, and terrorist
financing in particular. The institutional mechanisms that grew out
of this are explored in detail here, with a critical examination of
the progress made by the international community. The impact of
these measures is considered with respect to changes in the nature
of the terrorist threat, money confiscated, adoption of
international conventions, and global standards by states, and
levels of compliance, among others.
This book will be of great interest to students of terrorism,
international organisations, international security, and IR in
general.
