Summary:

Goede (politics, U. of Amsterdam) argues that the fight against terrorism financing has important implications not just for financial practice and how global financial circulation is understood, but also for security practice and how security works within a number of domains. Both the episteme and the practical domains of finance and security become fused in novel ways through the securitization of terrorist finance, she says. Her topics include mediating terrorist money, cash and the circuits of transnational kinship, zakat and the securitization of charitable donation, and money and modern exile.
