Preface
Brigitte Unger and Daan van der Linde


In this Research Handbook on Money Laundering we set out to give you a survey of the
state of the art in the debate surrounding money laundering. We have invited authors
from academia, international organizations, from practice and country representa-
tives to write an 8­15-page contribution on the topic of money laundering. Since it was
not possible to find a historian writing (for free) on the history of money laundering,
the editors themselves took care of it. However, this still seems a promising field for
economic historians to delve into.
We thank all the participants in this volume for their valuable contributions. We
would also especially like to thank the student assistants from the Chair of Public
Sector Economics, Utrecht University School of Economics, Tom Geijsen and Jorrit
Hendriksma. Finally we would like to thank Edward Elgar for the opportunity to
publish, and especially Tara Gorvine for her help in the process.
The Utrecht University School of Economics, where we are both employed as
Professor and PhD candidate, stands for multidisciplinary research. We hope that
through this Handbook, the study of money laundering will become a flourishing field
in multidisciplinary academia.
