  • Negotiations (2)
    • risks of negotiating with terrorists (Byman 2006)
      • 1. Recognition arguably rewards the use of terrorism - other groups might take up terrorism or even inc their violence
      • 3. Negotiating may be more difficult post 9/11 - public might not accept
      • 4. Most talks end in failure - credibility of govt and members are on the line
      • 5. Progress may be slow - terrorist groups may not show signs of windling down its behaviour
      • 6.  ******** members may still remain - enough to continue the violence
      • 7. spoilers may emerge
      • 9. political process may transform the political scene and alter ops as it says terrorism works - may radicalise peaceful groups
      • 8. ceasefire may be used as a ruse - groups have used it to rearm in the past and regroup
      • 10. risk of talking to terrorist groups that are active against an ally - anger op govt - harm another state
      • 2. diminishing the stigma of being known as a terrorist group - US Foreign Terrorist Organisation was set up to shame
    • negations dont always yield a clear resolution or cessation it usually continues during talks (Cronin, 2009)
    • success of negotiations in history

        • Situation not so ripe in 1990s
      • Interplay (Tonge, Shirlowand McAuley, 2011
        • interplay f ideological, political, economic and structural as well as military factors
        • interviews with soldiers suggest the absence of the stale mate narrative
    • unsuccessful negotiations
      • more than classic terrorist campaign in Sri Lanka
        • Sri Lankan maj are Buddhist but Tamils were hindu
