RECENT ICST PUBLICATIONS
![]() | In Walking Away From Terrorism, John Horgan addresses four major issues: What do we currently know about disengagement and de-radicalization from terrorism? What do terrorists themselves say about their experiences of disengagement? What lessons and implications can we take from the terrorists’ accounts of disengagement? What are the implications for policy, law enforcement, intelligence, civil society and other relevant parties to an effective counterterrorism initiative? Publisher: Routledge, 2009. |

In Leaving Terrorism Behind: Individual and Collective Disengagement, Tore Bjørgo and John Horgan present a series of case studies of disengagement program, from Colombia, northern Europe, Italy, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, comparing and assessing their origins, development, and reflecting upon their various strengths and weaknesses. Bjørgo and Horgan describe and explains the potential for new developments in counterterrorism. Publisher: Routledge, 2009. |

Beginning with a review of the long history of terrorism, from the Japanese kamikazes to the Palestinian, Tamil, Iraqi, and Chechen terrorists of today, Dr. Mia Bloom examines the use, strategies, successes, and failures of suicide bombing in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, and assesses the effectiveness of government responses. Dr. Bloom boldly contends social and political motivations inspire suicide bombers, and develops a theory explaining why terrorist tactics work in some instances and fail in others. Publisher: Columbia University Press, 2007. |

From Pablo to Osama is a comparative study of Colombian drug-smuggling enterprises, terrorist networks (including al Qaeda), and the law enforcement agencies seeking to dismantle them. Drawing on a wealth of research material, including interviews with former drug traffickers and other hard-to-reach informants, Dr. Michael Kenney explores how drug traffickers, terrorists, and government officials gather, analyze, and apply knowledge and experience. Publisher: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 2007. |

Post-Cold War regions of Bosnia, Somalia and Rwanda brought forth a wave of analysis regarding nation-building after large scale and violent ethnic conflict. In a series of articles, Dr. Chaim Kaufman challenged the traditional approach of stability through rule-sharing, democracy and open economies by advocating stability through separation of warring sides. In Living Together After Ethnic Killing, Drs. Licklider and Bloom critically analyze Dr. Kaufman’s hypothesis. Publisher: Routledge, 2006. |
