"This is the product of extraordiarily deep and thorough research, framed in a penetrating use of salient concepts, to provide a path-breaking understanding of the terrorist challenge for both analysts and practitioners. A real chef d'oeuvre."---J. William Zartman, Johns Hopkins University<BR><BR>"Terminate Terrorism is a theoretical, empirical, and practical contribution. It is an excellent example of an enhanced case study that illuminates the value of using a theoretical framework as a lens for understanding diverse cases. But Karen Feste goes further. She develops implications of her analyses by offering strategic advice to negotiators in both camps on how to terminate terrorism. Scholars, negotiators, and policy makers will reap many benefits from reading this engaging book."---Daniel Druckman, George Mason University and University of Southern Queensland, Australia<BR><BR>"Feste employs strategic and cognitive approaches to explain when it is possible to end a terrorist tactic through negotiations. Her work is a useful addition to our understanding of how to confront the challenge of terrorism."---Daniel Byman, Georgetown University<BR><BR>"There is a recent focus in terrorism literature on ending terrorism, not just explaining it. Karen Feste has added a significant contribution with this study of the termination of political violence and the systematic application of terror tactics. She develops and applies lessons and processes from the conflict resolution field to offer unique insights into this termination phase. The combination of Feste's conflict resolution paradigm and her selection of terrorism cases will provide for active, wide-ranging, and productive discussion in the classroom and to a broadened search for options available to seek an end to this violence."---James Smith, U.S. Air Force Academy
