Making a Killing explores the often-overlooked world of terrorist financing and the involvement of the international banking system. In order to address the threat of terrorist organizations in a post-9\/11 world – and how they are funded and financed in particular – the international community has constructed a vast architecture of counterterrorist finance laws, policies, and institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConnecting the fields of security studies, political economy, and finance, Ian Oxnevad argues that a bank’s institutional link to a state (as a state-owned bank or a bank with strong state connections) will protect it from any enforcement action for violations of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations. In the face of states blocking such enforcement actions, these regulations prove ineffective in preventing the financing of terrorism, as the state’s self-interest supersedes its interest in preventing terrorist financing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking a Killing\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to assess how effective new laws and regulations have been, as well as to identify best practices for future attempts to counter the financing of terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54222419919192,"sku":"9780228008767","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/making-a-killing-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
