Book Synopsis Deradicalisation and Terrorist Rehabilitation by : Rohan Gunaratna
Download or read book Deradicalisation and Terrorist Rehabilitation written by Rohan Gunaratna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat of terrorism, if not adequately managed, is likely to increase exponentially. As terrorist groups’ influence and networks spread globally, a concerted effort in counterterrorism strategy is critical to mitigating the threat they present. Governments facing the threat of terrorism are typically strengthening their law enforcement, military and intelligence capabilities, but more complex initiatives such as deradicalisation and terrorist rehabilitation are more time-consuming and less attention-grabbing and so tend to be neglected. It is all too easy to 'do' rehabilitation ineffectively or to simply ignore it altogether. This is unfortunate, as an effective rehabilitation strategy can yield dividends over the longer term. Every committed terrorist is a potential recruiter, whether in prison or at liberty, for more terrorists. Even in death, they can potentially be presented as martyrs. Conversely, successfully rehabilitated terrorists can be valuable assets in the public relations theatre of battle. There is no single, simple solution to the challenges of deradicalisation and rehabilitation, but this book places examples of best practice within a robust, but flexible, conceptual framework. It gives guidelines for establishing and implementing a successful deradicalisation or rehabilitation programme, derived from a series of empirical case studies of successful projects around the world. It sets out both the necessary and desirable facets of such a programme, identifying which areas to prioritise and where budgets can be best spent if resources are tight. The authors provide detailed case studies of each step to illustrate an approach that has worked and how best to replicate this success.
Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Deradicalisation and Disengagement by : Stig Jarle Hansen
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Deradicalisation and Disengagement written by Stig Jarle Hansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Deradicalisation and Disengagement offers an overview of the historical settings, theoretical debates, national approaches and practical strategies to deradicalisation and disengagement. Radicalisation and violent extremism are major global challenges, and as new and violent extremist groups and environments emerge, there is an increasing need for knowledge about how individuals physically exit these movements and how to change their mindset. Historically, much of the focus on these topics has been highly securitised and militarised; by contrast, this volume explores the need for more community-based and ‘soft’ approaches. The handbook includes discussions from both right-wing/left-wing political and religiously inspired deradicalisation processes. The handbook is organised into three parts: 1 definitions, backgrounds and theories; 2 actors; 3 regional case studies. This handbook will be of much interest to students, researchers, scholars and professionals of deradicalisation, counterterrorism, political violence, political extremism, security studies and international relations in general.

Book Synopsis Selling De-Radicalisation by : Gordon Clubb
Download or read book Selling De-Radicalisation written by Gordon Clubb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how de-radicalisation programmes have been portrayed in the media and details the role of public relations (PR) strategies employed by such programmes and Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) to create positive coverage of their work. CVE and de-radicalisation programmes have seen a significant rise in recent years and are now cornerstones of many countries’ counterterrorism strategies. Despite the increased importance of these tools to counter violent radicalisation leading to terrorism, they remain controversial and sometimes receive fierce public criticism and opposition. This work looks at how CVE and de-radicalisation programs are able to influence a country’s discourse on de-radicalisation, and how far governmental programs differ from non-governmental initiatives in terms of their PR strategies. The book also provides a theoretical basis of how the discourse on CVE is constructed in the media. As major case studies, this book examines the United Kingdom, Germany and Nigeria. For these countries, the authors have gathered and assessed roughly 3,000 newspaper articles on de-radicalisation programmes over a decade to provide an empirical base. This book will be of much interest to students of countering violent extremism, de-radicalisation, and terrorism studies.

Book Synopsis The Insurgent's Dilemma by : David H. Ucko
Download or read book The Insurgent's Dilemma written by David H. Ucko and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite attracting headlines and hype, insurgents rarely win. Even when they claim territory and threaten governmental writ, they typically face a military backlash too powerful to withstand. States struggle with addressing the political roots of such movements, and their military efforts mostly just "mow the grass," yet, for the insurgent, the grass is nonetheless mowed-and the armed project must start over. This is the insurgent's dilemma: the difficulty of asserting oneself, of violently challenging authority, and of establishing sustainable power. In the face of this dilemma, some insurgents are learning new ways to ply their trade. With subversion, spin and disinformation claiming centre stage, insurgency is being reinvented, to exploit the vulnerabilities of our times and gain new strategic salience for tomorrow. As the most promising approaches are refined and repurposed, what we think of as counterinsurgency will also need to change. The Insurgent's Dilemma explores three particularly adaptive strategies and their implications for response. These emerging strategies target the state where it is weak and sap its power, sometimes without it noticing. There are options for response, but fresh thinking is urgently needed-about society, legitimacy and political violence itself.
Book Synopsis Deradicalisation and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding in Northeast Nigeria by : Usman Sambo
Download or read book Deradicalisation and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding in Northeast Nigeria written by Usman Sambo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the deradicalisation and peacebuilding programme undertaken in north-east Nigeria, following the Boko Haram insurgency in the region. The intensity of the insurgents’ violence necessitated measures to combat fundamentalism, including military operations, amnesty, deradicalisation and other strategies. Focusing on the counter-insurgency operations and the various government responses, this work highlights the successes and failures of the approaches adopted by the government in the north-east of Nigeria. The strategies and programmes examined include both military and non-military approaches, but especially non-kinetic measures such as deradicalisation, rehabilitation, reintegration and peace-building programmes. In contrast to previous works, this book addresses neglected areas of inquiry such as the typologies of deradicalisation interventions (of which there are about five), and especially the intellectual response of the Ulama in countering Boko Haram extremism and peacebuilding. The study broadens the horizon of inquiry on insurgency, deradicalisation and peacebuilding in Nigeria, in Africa and globally, by delving deeper into the subject matter using a methodological approach that draws on primary sources from key actors and stakeholders. In addition, the book introduces a new theoretical approach, entitled the ‘Multiple Front Reaction Model’, and will challenge future works to consolidate or synthesise its assumptions. This book will be of interest to students of deradicalisation, political violence, African politics and security studies.
Book Synopsis Civil Society Organizations Against Terrorism by : Rohan Gunaratna
Download or read book Civil Society Organizations Against Terrorism written by Rohan Gunaratna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With recent changes in social and political landscapes around the world the focus of preventive counter-terrorism has shifted in many places from government to civil society. The contributors analyze the different approaches of Civil Society Organizations in preventing and countering violent extremism in various countries in South and Southeast Asia. The cases examined include, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The key emphasis is on understanding the context within which each example was initiated, and the factors that determined their relative success or failure. The evidence from these cases suggests that much can be achieved through empowering communities to engage in aiding both the indoctrinated and those who pose the greatest risk of radicalization. A valuable contribution to the literature on preventing and countering violent extremism.
Book Synopsis Terrorist Rehabilitation and Community Engagement in Malaysia and Southeast Asia by : Mohd Mizan Aslam
Download or read book Terrorist Rehabilitation and Community Engagement in Malaysia and Southeast Asia written by Mohd Mizan Aslam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this book analyse the different approaches and modes of terrorist rehabilitation that have been attempted by Malaysia, and other countries in Southeast Asia. With an emphasis on the particular contexts within which they operate, this book examines the factors that determine the relative successes and failure of a wide range of community initiatives in integrating terrorists back into society. These initiatives include using methods based on social psychology, religion, and entrepreneurship to develop a comprehensive approach to rehabilitating and deradicalizing terrorists in Malaysia as well as Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines. As such it makes an important contribution to the global policy debate, coloured by the unique characteristics of the South East Asia region. A valuable resource for researchers and policymakers seeking constructive ways to counter violent extremism.
Book Synopsis Militarization and the Global Rise of Paramilitary Culture by : Brad West
Download or read book Militarization and the Global Rise of Paramilitary Culture written by Brad West and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book demonstrates a new multidimensional comprehension of the relationship between war, the military and civil society by exploring the global rise of paramilitary culture. Moving beyond binary understandings that inform the militarization of culture thesis and examining various national and cultural contexts, the collection outlines ways in which a process of paramilitarization is shaping the world through the promotion of new warrior archetypes. It is argued that while the paramilitary hero is associated with military themes, their character is in tension with the central principals of modern military organization, something that often challenges the state’s perceived monopoly on violence. As such paramilitization has profound implications for institutional military identity, the influence of paramilitary organizations and broadly how organised violence is popularly understood

Book Synopsis Partnership Peace Operations by : Hideaki Shinoda
Download or read book Partnership Peace Operations written by Hideaki Shinoda and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Partnership" is a key concept in contemporary international peace operations. There is no universal model of peace operations in contemporary international society. Ad hoc arrangements of "partnership" between the United Nations and various regional organizations are consequences of the complex circumstances of international security. The ways in which "partnerships" are organised differently in different regions reflect each region's distinctive security situation. The universal nature of "liberal peacebuilding" is thus maintained only by ad hoc arrangements. All the UN peacekeeping operations in Africa have some partnership linkages with regional or sub-regional organizations ranging from the African Union (AU) and regional mechanisms to the European Union (EU). What are the conditions and characteristics that enable or lead to partnership peacekeeping in Africa? How should we understand lower levels of partnership peacekeeping in other regions? By highlighting key characteristics of partnership peacekeeping, the book explores these issues and argues that partnership is a reflection of political circumstances. The book provides an unexplored but critical perspective to understand the contemporary world for those who study International Relations, Security Studies, International Organizations, and Peace Studies.

Book Synopsis Criminology in criminal justice by : Alexandre Chitov
Download or read book Criminology in criminal justice written by Alexandre Chitov and published by สำนักงานบริหารงานวิจัย มหาวิทยาลัยเชียงใหม่. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On behalf of Chiang Mai University Press’ editorial team, I would like tothank for your interest this book, Criminology in Criminal Justice by Alexandre Chitov. In my opinion, the book comes out in the right time. In the past few years, the global communities have experienced a change in the way in which “justice” is defined. Mainly, this comes from social and cultural divides which have affected legal practices in many countries. While providing an explanation on foundational concepts and the way in which each concept derive from, the author utilizes case studies from many places which help us understand these foundational ideas in criminology in a more critical way. I hope that the endeavor in the book would benefit not only law students but also other lay people who are interested in criminology.
