{"product_id":"managing-terrorism-and-insurgency","title":"Managing Terrorism and Insurgency","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines how governments can weaken the regenerative capabilities of terrorist and insurgent groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exploration of this question takes the form of a two-tier examination of three insurgent actors whose capacity to regenerate weakened in the past: the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) of Canada, the Movimiento de Liberación Nacional - Tupamaros (MLN-T) of Uruguay and the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) of Northern Ireland during the mid-1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the first level of its examination, the book investigates the extent to which the regenerative capacities of the FLQ, MLN-T, and PIRA weakened because of an increase in attrition and a decrease in recruitment. The primary objectives of this analysis are to uncover whether a declining intake of recruits played a lesser, equal, or greater role than a burgeoning loss of personnel in weakening the capacities to regenerate of the three insurgent actors; and, in turn, to shed greater light on the broader validity of the prevailing view in conflict studies that a decrease in recruitment is more important than an increase in attrition in effecting the corrosion of an insurgent actor's capacity to regenerate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the second level of its exploration, the book assesses the effectiveness of five of the most prominent policy prescriptions in the literature and insurgent recruitment and attrition: ameliorating grievances, selective repression, discrediting insurgent ideology, improving intelligence collection, and restricting civil liberties\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and counter-terrorism, conflict studies, strategic studies and security studies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameron Crouch\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently an Analyst at Allen Consulting Group, an Australian economics and public policy consulting firm.
