Globales Recht und Terrorismusfinanzierungsbekämpfung

This interdisciplinary volume combining contributions from scientists and practitioners deals with the entire spectrum of problems in the field of terrorism financing and counter measures. To begin with, challenges arise because there is no broad consensus on how to define terrorism and because the mechanisms of financing terrorism are hard to detect. As a global phenomenon terrorist financing requires global counter measures. Counter-terrorist financing measures, actors and networks can be understood as a special area of the emerging global law. Global Law still has to be analyzed and elaborated in many respects. The contributions in this volume discuss the respective fundamental as well as detailed questions with regard to the fight against the financing of terrorism. They comprise deliberations on appropriate theoretical approaches to describe global law, on the development and implementation of global rules and standards as well as on global actors and networks, on the role of the Financial Action Task Force and its recommendations, on the surveillance of financial transactions and on the networks of security agencies, on the sanctions regimes via listing persons, groups and entities and on the shortcomings of counter-terrorist financing with view to regulation, legitimation, human rights or remedies.
The authors are legal, economic and political scientists as well as former practitioners of a national Financial Intelligence Unit and of the EU Commission.
