Description

The international financial system is not only economic, but political.

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. Connecting 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. Making a Killing 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.
