The financial war on terrorism and Islamic State of Iraq and Levant

Ryder, Nicholas

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to critically consider the effectiveness of the “Financial War on Terrorism” on the funding streams of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL). The paper identifies the “Financial War on Terrorism” and it then moves on to determine if it is able to tackle and restrict the funding avenues of ISIL.  The final part of the paper comments on how ISIL will need to adapt its funding streams as it continues to lose its previously controlled areas
