By drawing on social movement theories, this book explains how
terrorist movements decline, using the case of Irish Republicanism.
The continuity of terrorism and political violence from generation
to generation demonstrates the need to go beyond a focus on groups
or individuals in order to explain how terrorism ends. The concept
of de-radicalisation has been critiqued for its lack of explanatory
value in accounting for disengagement from terrorism or how the
risk of terrorism re-emerging is reduced. However, building on the
morphogenetic approach, this book distinguishes between
structure/culture and agency over time in order to analyse the
causal influence between the two. Two processes are analysed:
disengagement framing processes explain how actors change attitudes
to violence and the book identifies which factors ensure frames
resonate with audiences; and social movement de-radicalisation
accounts for the outcomes of disengagement in initiating structural
change which transforms the landscape the next generation finds
itself in. The fundamental aim of the book is to provide
theoretical and conceptual insights into how terrorism can not only
come to an end, but can be prevented from emerging to be a
significant threat again within a society. This book will be of
much interest to students of terrorism and political violence,
social movement theory, British and Irish Politics, war and
conflict studies, security studies and IR in general.
