This book brings together scholars from the hitherto disparate
fields of terrorism and reconciliation studies, to examine whether
reconciliation is a possible strategy for dealing with and ending a
terrorist conflict. Traditionally, terrorism research has revolved
around such questions as: What is terrorism? What causes it? How
can it be dealt with? Reconciliation research tries to find ways to
overcome deep societal rifts after civil conflict, to deal with
injustices and to re-establish social and political peace and
stability. The central questions raised here are: (a) what
constitutes reconciliation' as a process and an outcome; and (b)
how can reconciliation be facilitated in a situation of social
conflict. All these questions play a part in the idea of
reconciliation with terrorists'. Reconciliation efforts are taken
into consideration after state terror but not usually in situations
of conflict with sub-state terrorist actors. Similar to state
terror, sub-state terrorism is a sign of a deep societal rift which
reconciliation measures may help to overcome. In addition, even
though terrorist activities often play a role in situations of
conflict and transition, terrorists' are generally not taken into
consideration as active, or relevant, participants by researchers
and practitioners. In some cases, the terrorists' turn into
political actors during the reconciliation process and their past
is not an issue anymore, as it was the case with the ANC in South
Africa. In other cases terrorist groups are considered as spoilers
of reconciliation and are therefore excluded from the societal
reconciliation process, as was the case with ETA in Spain. This
book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies,
transitional justice, conflict resolution, peace and conflict
studies and IR in general.
