About this book

This clear and rigorous examination of the international efforts to combat the financing of terrorism is suitable for a range of courses in international relations, politics and global political economy. It provides a comprehensive examination of the post-9/11 efforts to counter financial support for terrorist actors, including the more recent challenges of non-cash payment technologies as well as how to combat the financing of terrorism in regimes where territories and populations are controlled, as in the case of Islamic State.

Reviews

Vlcek effectively weaves together the many strands that make up the financial fight against terrorism. Along the way, he provides a much needed historical overview of a regime that shifted global politics far beyond 'just' the politics of terrorism, reaching deep into the regulatory systems of states and the personal lives of their citizens. I have a new book to add to my syllabus on illicit economies!

A vitally important book. The author's longstanding expertise makes the analysis shrewd and authoritative, and anybody interested in the subject of terrorism should read this volume.

An excellent book that breaks new theoretical ground and provides a wealth of new and important empirical data, which greatly enriches the field. Highly recommended for anyone interested in terrorism and counterterrorism studies specifically and international relations more generally.
