Data wars: new spaces of governing against terrorist finance
Programme Group Transnational Configurations, Conflicts and Governance
The goal of this NWO funded project is to map and analyse the reconfigured spaces of governing that are emerging through the deployment of financial information in the European war on terror.
NWO, 2009-2012
In the aftermath of the events of 9/11, political debates and public investigations emphasised the problem of locating information about risk and threat in advance of a terrorist attack.
The idea that data offer the solution to problems of security risk has quickly established itself at the forefront of what has come to be known as the war on terror.
Financial information occupies a special place within data-led security practices, because it is assumed to be able to reveal 'blueprints' of terrorist networks.
