Description: A clear and rigorous survey of terrorist financing and the international efforts to combat it suitable for a range of courses in international relations, politics and global political economy.
Brief description:
William Vlcek is Senior Lecturer in Global Political Economy at the University of St Andrews.
Review Quotes: 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!--Mark Nance, North Carolina State University
