Corporate Citizens and ‘The War on Terror’

  • Chapter
The Political Role of Corporate Citizens

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Citizenship Transitions series ((PASC))

  • 136 Accesses

Abstract

In 2005 the EU adopted a directive that stipulated that a range of industries within the EU were obliged to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing (Directive 2005/60/EC). The private actors were expected to take on a new role — as agents of the state — in preventing terrorist attacks. In this chapter we analyse the devolution of authority to corporate actors in the public security domain, and present some implications of this new authority for the responsibility and democratic accountability for designated corporate citizens.
