Summary/Abstract |
International institutions are prominent in the 'global War on Terror'. But there remains variation in the institutionalisation of counter-terrorism, across policy domains and over time. I argue that institutions pursue tasks of counter-terrorism when they are backed by power. Institutions function as 'swords' as strong states seek to influence others. Weak states, too, are sensitive to the distributional consequences of cooperation and use institutions as 'shields' to resist the powerful. These claims are reflected in patterns of cooperation within the UN, and in terrorist financing and maritime security. Looking forward, multilateral counter-terrorism may remain contingent upon state power.

Summary/Abstract |
At the intersection between crime and security, the study of how terrorist groups and networks finance their activities is crucial both to an overall understanding of their operation and to counter-terrorist activities. Peter Romaniuk explores the progress made by academic research in establishing the scope of the subject matter, identifies the shortcomings of existing research, and highlights fruitful avenues for future investigation - and how this can in turn help policy-makers and practitioners to focus their counterterrorism
efforts.
