Beyond ou Besides.
Hi, everyone
Hi, there
I was reading a text about politics and I came across this:
"If, apparently, the risks of a nuclear conflict on the scale envisaged during the Cold War have decreased, the diffuse dangers have increased due to an aspect of globalization, which makes the world work by means of several kinds of networks. Among these are FINANCEnetworks, which, BEYOND ENABLING FOR rapid capital flows, also enable money laundering, organized crime networks, drug and arms trafficking networks, terrorist networks and networks for clandestine migrations, caused by war and persecution. "
I'd like to know why the author used "beyond" and not besides. And what does "enable for" mean?Could you tell me?
And could you tell me why the author used "finance networks" and not "financial networks"?
Please!
Thank you very much

When I read it, "enabling for" just means to make possible. It's "beyond" because the money laundering, the organized crime, etc. are unintended consequences. They are not planned.

But to answer you question "beyond" in this case just means "in addition to" or "as well as".

Yikes, this sounds like neo-Marxist theory blather. That stuff is often torturously written, so even native speakers have trouble understanding it.
Who's the author might I ask?
