Since
the 9/11 attacks the world has witnessed the creation of both domestic and
international legal instruments designed to disrupt and interdict the financial
activities of terrorists. This book analyses the counter-terrorist financing
law (CTF), policy and practice at the national level, focusing on Turkey. The
work examines the limits and capabilities of CTF efforts on terrorism threats
and determines the effectiveness of CTF efforts in Turkey, a country which has
a pivotal role in terms of countering terrorism regionally and internationally.
The
Turkish case-study is supported by an empirical study involving 37
semi-structured interviews with CTF practitioners and law enforcement experts
with different affiliations and backgrounds. The findings illustrate that
Turkey’s CTF system has not obtained an adequate level of effectiveness as a
result of lack of proper implementation of its policy in the bureaucratic,
legal and operational spheres. It is evident that the administrative and legal
systems in Turkey are established according to the ‘one-size-fits-all’
international CTF standards and thus are compliant with the international CTF
benchmarks, yet the interviews reveal significant challenges at the
implementation level including lack of training and financial security, heavy
handed bureaucracy, inadequate coordination and communication between
international and national levels.
The
book will be an invaluable resource for academics, students and policy-makers
working in the areas of financial crime and terrorism.
