Catch Me If You Can: or how policy networks help tackle the crime--terror nexus

Global Crime, 2014, vol. 15, issue 3-4, 219-240

Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of a policy network existing between intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) participating in the international policy-making process of anti-money laundering (AML) and the combating of financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations. It begins by introducing the challenges to global governance presented by organised crime and terrorist organisations, as well as the ways in which the international community is responding by means of following the money. Firstly, the paper defines which actors are involved in the process of policy-making activities and how their actions constitute a ‘mirror’ crime--terror nexus. Secondly, the role of IGOs and their ability to form policy networks is highlighted as increasingly important in the tackling of transnational threats and as an innovative response mechanism. Finally the paper suggests that more needs to be done in order to address the issues of accountability that stem from addressing global threats through the AML/CFT network.
