This edited volume addresses the important issue of negotiating
with terrorists, and offers recommendations for best practice and
processes. Hostage negotiation is the process of trying to align
two often completely polarised parties. Authorities view hostage
taking as unacceptable demands made by unacceptable means. However
terrorists view their actions as completely justified, even on
moral and religious grounds. If they are to try and reconcile these
two sides, it is essential for hostage negotiators to understand
terrorist culture, the hostage takers' profiles, their personality,
their view of the world and also the authorities, their values and
their framing of the problem raised by the taking of hostages.
Although not advocating negotiating with terrorists, the volume
seeks to analyse when, why, and how it is done. Part I deals with
the theory and quantifiable data produced from analysis of hostage
situations, while Part II explores several high profile case
studies and the lessons that can be learnt from them. This volume
will be of great interest to students of terrorism studies,
conflict management, negotiation, security studies and IR in
general. I William Zartman is the Jacob Blaustein Distinguished
