Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed -- and How to Stop It.  
Rachel Ehrenfeld. Chicago: Bonus Books, 2003. 267p.
Ehrenfeld contends that the true face of terror is an international network of corrupt state leaders, super wealthy contributors, and drug and crime kingpins. Without money, especially laundered U.S. dollars, there would be no terror, and this lively, well-documented primer reveals the sources, the amounts and the armed terror organizations they support. Not surprisingly, the author is at her best on the ironies of the West's appetite for drugs, which terror groups exploit for funding, arms and recruiting those who would undermine a degenerate Western society. Ehrenfeld's timely expose should heat up public demand for real progress in the war on terrorism.

Illicit Flows and Criminal Things: States, Borders and the Other Side of Globalization.
Willem van Schendel and Itty Abraham. Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 2005. 266p. 
Offers a new perspective on illegal transnational linkages, international relations, and the transnational. The contributors argue for a nuanced approach that recognizes the difference between "organized" crime and the thousands of illicit acts that take place across national borders every day. They distinguish between the illegal (prohibited by law) and the illicit (socially perceived as unacceptable), which are historically changeable and contested. Detailed case studies of arms smuggling, illegal transnational migration, the global diamond trade, borderland practices, and the transnational consumption of drugs take us to Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and North America. They allow us to understand how states, borders, and the language of law enforcement produce criminality, and how people and goods which are labeled "illegal" move across regulatory spaces.

H. Richard Friman & Peter Andreas. Lanham, MD : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 1999. 200p.

Illicit: How Smugglers, Traffickers and Copycats are Hijacking the Global Economy.
Moises Naim. New York : Doubleday, 2005. 340p. 
Naim provides a detailed tour of the major globalized criminal activities: drug production and distribution, illegal arms dealing, human trafficking, counterfeiting, money laundering and so on and introduces a host of criminal networks that profit from them. Naim creates a picture of illicit trade which demonstrates that, far from taking place in a shadowy underworld, such activity is inextricably linked to legitimate commerce and directly affects all of us. In Naim's view, globalization's "diffusion of power to individuals and groups" and away from sovereign states has created a "smuggler's nirvana," in which the lines between legitimate and illegitimate economic activity are blurred and criminal networks possess an unprecedented degree of political influence. Making matters worse, the widening gap between global haves and have-nots what Naim calls "geopolitical bright spots and black holes" has increased the incentive for individuals and groups on both sides of the divide to participate in illicit activities.

International Handbook on Drug Control.
Scott B. MacDonald & Bruce Zagaris. Westport, CN : Greenwood Press, 1992. 454p.
The international illicit drug trade is an ongoing problem that faces the global community. It influences economic and political development in a number of countries in the developing world and feeds the habits of addicts in the developed world. The nature of the game will probably continue because so many people experiment with drugs and because so much profit is to be gained in drug sales. The editors wish to increase awareness by educating readers on what is known about the global narcotics trade.

Suppressing Terrorist Financing and Money Laundering.
Jae-myong Koh. Berlin : Springer, 2006. 243p.
The book analyses the development of international standards for countering terrorist financing from the perspective of international criminal law. It is likely to find its value for readers not only as a monograph on the financing of terrorism but also as a reference book on the operational and theoretical development of anti-money laundering strategy following 9/11. In particular, the works of main actors in this area such as the UN Security Council, Financial Action Task Force, IMF, World Bank, and APG are dealt with in depth.
