Regulatory Counter-Terrorism explores an emerging terrain in which
the global governance of terrorism is expanding. This terrain is
that of proactive regulatory governance - the management of the
day-to-day activities of individuals and entities in order to
pre-emptively minimize vulnerability to terrorism. Overshadowed by
the more publicized dimensions of military and criminal justice
responses to terrorism, regulatory counter-terrorism has grown in
size and impact without stirring up as much academic debate.
Through a critical assessment of international regulatory
counter-terrorism in three areas - financial services, the control
of arms and dangerous materials, and the cross-border movement of
persons and goods - this volume identifies a dynamic trend. This is
the refashioning of international rule making into a flexible and
experimental exercise. This volume shows how this transformation is
affecting societies across the world in new ways and in the process
unravelling settled understandings of international law.
Furthermore, through an in-depth analysis of the working processes
of UN counter-terrorism bodies and the Financial Action Task Force,
this book illustrates that the monitoring of the global
counter-terrorism regime is, contrary to accepted understanding, in
the main collaborative and managerial, and coercive only
peripherally. Dynamic rule making and soft monitoring complement
each other, but this is a reason for concern: the softening of
international monitoring encourages regulatory adventurism by
states in tackling terrorism, while the element of self-correction
in dynamic rule making helps silence the calls for
institutionalized mechanisms of accountability. This volume will be
of great interest to students and scholars of counter-terrorism,
security studies, global governance, and international law.
