Controlling Terrorist Financing critically assesses a key component of counter-terrorism: mechanisms of financial control. Drawing on several studies conducted over the last seven years, including research funded by the US National Institute of Justice, the United Nations Security Council and the World Bank, as well as on his work as a policy advisor to several government agencies and as expert witness in terrorism cases, Nikos Passas argues that current approaches are not only of limited effectiveness but that they even produce counter-productive side effects by undermining security and international cooperation. While the US and the international community preach a ‘risk-based’ approach, resources and emphasis focus on some areas, while leaving much more vulnerable sectors (eg trade and commerce) unattended. Controlling Terrorist Financing shows that actions without firm and shared evidence not only miss their target, but also undercut legitimacy, reduce the chances of joint action with multiple countries and fuel unnecessary animosity. Passas’ empirical findings and analytical work pave the ground for evidence-based and conceptually sound counter-terrorism. This book demonstrates with numerous illustrations and examples that justice, the rule of law and international standards are compatible with and instrumental to a more secure and fair global community.
