Financial and material resources are correctly perceived as the
life blood of terrorist operations, and governments have determined
that fighting the financial infrastructure of terrorist
organizations is the key to their defeat. Since the attacks of
September 11, 2001, a good deal has been learned about sources and
mechanisms used to finance the "new" terrorism, which is
religiously motivated and exponentially more deadly than previous
generations of terrorist organizations. New policies have been
devised to combat the threat and existing policies have been
enacted with greater vigor than ever before. Five years into the
battle against terrorist financing, it is time to take stock of the
emerging literature on terrorist financing, cut through a number of
myths that have developed around the issue, and assess the current
policy debates. Through a series of thematic chapters and
organizational and regional case studies-examining terrorist
organizations such as Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, and regions such as
East Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and South East
Asia-the authors provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of
our knowledge about the nature of terrorism financing, and the
evolution and effectiveness of terrorist strategies and government
responses. This volume focuses on the preferences of major actors
within terrorist networks and government agencies and the domestic
and international contexts in which they make decisions and execute
their strategies. It argues that both terrorism financing and
government responses face problems of coordination, oversight, and
information asymmetries that render them vulnerable to disruption.
