Reviews

'In this invaluable collection of original essays...Terrornomics analyzes and proposes methods of restricting the flow of funds to terrorist organizations, especially those supporting Islamic fundamentalists. This volume is wide ranging, up-to-date and treats the subject with insight and sensitivity. It is a significant source for graduate and undergraduate courses and also will aid policy makers in understanding the dynamics of terrorist funding. The book is a vital addition to the terrorism bookshelf.' Alan O'Day, Greyfriars Hall, University of Oxford, UK 'To effectively manage terrorism and extremism, we must understand how threat groups raise, store, move and disburse money. Terrornomics edited by Costigan and Gold is the most comprehensive volume on the organization and operation of terrorist financial infrastructures and networks.' Rohan Gunaratna, International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research, Singapore ’...a timely, multifaceted, and well-written and well-edited volume...The analytics of the costs and benefits of terrorism are elegant, readable, and presented without undue technicalities...Highly recommended.
