Summary:
"Since 9/11, countering the financing of terrorism has been a significant policy priority of U.S. and international security agencies. As terrorist groups and tactics evolve, government authorities and the private sector have focused on preventing financial and commercial systems from being leveraged and abused to fund terrorist activities. Former leading governmental officials and experts from the private sector and academia have collaborated on this scholarly compendium, in which they discuss the key laws and strategies used to thwart the financing of terrorism. The book follows a logical progression of relevant topics that fosters a better understanding of this dynamic challenge"--Publisher's website.
