Financial Operations: Opportunities for Inter-Agency Synergy

摘要

This monograph seeks to examine the efficacy of United States (US) financial operations at the interagency level. The primary research question is: Does the United States have an effective doctrine for conducting financial operations against both state and non-state actors. Financial operations link the application of specific financial restrictions, in concert with other elements of national power, to the strategic goals of the coercive campaign. This monograph concludes that it is possible to achieve operational art with financial operations at the interagency level if the Executive Branch is willing to centrally focus and synergize the energy of many players.
