For many, negotiating with terrorists amounts to capitulation that
only encourages more terrorism. The editors of this book, by
contrast, argue that engaging extremists is an indispensable part
of a broad policy that is complex in its tactics and deliberate in
its balance. While recognizing that engagement carries many risks,
they contend that it is not the act of negotiation that encourages
or discourages terrorism; it is the terms of the negotiated
agreement. The point is not whether to negotiate but how to
negotiate creatively to moderate terrorist means. Engaging
Extremists concerns negotiation with political terrorist
organizations, separating terrorist groups that can be engaged from
those that, for the moment, cannot. Dealing with terrorism includes
keeping violent means in check, transforming its ends from
destruction to participation, and undercutting the grievances on
which it is based. The essays in this volume tackle the questions
of whenA" and howA" with a mixture of conceptual discussions
illustrated by case analyses. By approaching terrorism as a phase
in conflict by ethnic, religious, ideological, and other groups,
the first half of this volume identifies appropriate times and
tactics for taking advantage of the terrorist organization's life
cycle from when it begins, matures, and declines. The latter half
focuses more specifically on the howA" by studying successful
experiments in engaging future and past terrorists, the role of
third-party mediators, and two case studies of failed negotiations
with terrorists. In the face of terrorism and militant extremism,
states must strike a delicate balance between isolation and
engagement. Engaging Extremists provides valuable insight into when
and how such engagement might be pursued.
