| Summary/Abstract |
The following article examines how the principles of coercion theory can be applied towards the formulation of strategy aimed at countering terrorist financing. In doing so, this article provides a breakdown of coercion's relevant theoretical concepts on the subject matter. This is followed by an elaboration of the specific coercive approaches-non-military and military-that can be implemented to counter terrorist finance operations, along with an illustration, based on case-evidence, of how these approaches can be practically employed with power and policy mechanisms at the state and international levels. The article concludes with a discussion on what is required, from a coercion stand-point, to successfully counter a terrorist organization's financial operations, as well as the advantages and limitations involved in such a strategy.
