About the Book

De-radicalisation is a global phenomenon where armed organisations transform into political parties or non-violent social movements. Bullets to Ballots explores the different trajectories that this process can take whether it occurs after a military victory, a military defeat, or a draw in an armed conflict between insurgent groups and incumbent authorities. A result of a unique collaboration between leading scholars, high-level governmental practitioners and non-state organisational leaders, this volume offers a rich comparative analysis of de-radicalisation processes from around the world. It answers the questions of when, why and how collective de-radicalisation happens, and it deepens our understanding of this as a means of preventing violent extremism.

About the Author :
Omar Ashour is an Associate Professor of Security and Military Studies and the Founding Chair of the Critical Security Studies Programme at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. He is the author of How ISIS Fights: Military Tactics in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Egypt (Edinburgh University Press, 2021) and The De-Radicalization of Jihadists: Transforming Armed Islamist Movements (Routledge, 2009), as well as the editor of Bullets to Ballots: Collective De-Radicalisation of Armed Movements (Edinburgh University Press, 2021).

Review :
This edited collection brings together leading academic and practitioner experts on the transformation of armed and violent movements to peaceful actors across ideological milieus. Collective de-radicalisation is unfortunately still something which we know very little about. This in-depth edited volume is a milestone in the field and is highly recommend to anyone interested in the dynamics of violent conflict transformation, demobilisation and armed groups’ processes of change over time. In a world dominated by intense conflicts, emphasising the contrary deradicalisation of social movements might look "academic", far-fetched or even wishful thinking. Not so according to the fourteen authors and their analysis of 20 cases from four continents. The authors' first-hand experience, coupled with Ashour's comparative perspective, offers both a data treasure and an important contribution to Social Movement Theory. De-radicalisation efforts targeting extremist and terrorist individuals have by and large shown disappointing results. By looking at armed movements at the meso-(organisational and institutional) and macro-(state- and inter-state) levels, Omar Ashour's original volume unveils a promising new framework for collective deradicalisation and practical conflict resolution - a must read for policy-makers. An exceptionally insightful, valuable, and timely book. By comparing rebel demobilization across time, regions, and ideologies, Omar Ashour's star team of contributors have produced not just a work of reference but something as rare as an academic page-turner.
