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. Arabinda Acharya is
Research Fellow, Manager of Strategic Projects and Head of the
Terrorist Financing Response Project at the International Centre
for Political Violence and Terrorism Research in the S. Rajaratnam
School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore.
