Terrorist Financing

Cutting off the money that reaches terrorist groups has been a major goal of international policy, especially since the September 11 attacks. This book traces how states and international bodies have pursued that aim since then, and it weighs the results with care.

It also covers newer difficulties, such as payment technologies that move value without cash, and the harder problem of stopping funding in areas where armed groups hold territory and govern populations, with Islamic State as the central case. The book is intended for students of international relations, politics and global political economy.
