Talking to the Enemy: Deradicalization and Disengagement of Terrorists

doi:10.5771/9783845247397

Summary

As a collected volume, ‘Talking to the Enemy’ focuses on various aspects of the communicative dimension of counter-terrorism and its marginal conditions. In its first part, the book features eight articles providing a variety of perspectives on Western as well as Asian efforts in countering potentially violent extremism. Besides more theoretical approaches, they offer practical insights from the coal face of counter-terrorism, especially in the field of disengagement, deradicalization and rehabilitation. The second part is made up of a longer essay breaking down the effects of the fundamental post-9/11 trends in counter-terrorism on single strategies of how to engage with the adversary in form of de-radicalization, counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency. A third part rounds off the volume with additional material including an interview on the Islamic State and its impact on geopolitics with a former chief intelligence advisor to the Indian government. The book addresses those generally interested in countering radicalization, terrorism, counter-insurgency, conflict and IR/security studies as well as particular communicative techniques and the politics of counter-terrorism from different regional angles.
