ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 argues that contemporary global counter-terrorism is aggressively expanding in the form of proactive regulation of everyday activities and makes an empirical case for this observation. It examines international counter-terrorism instruments and institutions in three issue areas that form the case studies for subsequent analysis: financial transactions; the management of arms and dangerous materials; and the cross-border movement of persons and goods. The chapter shows that a proactive regulatory approach enables global counter-terrorism governance to permeate routine private and governmental activities, affecting individuals and businesses in new ways in those three issue areas.
