Beskrivning
Many armed-political movements such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Irish Republican Army (IRA) have their roots in insurrection and rebellion. In Armed Political Organizations, Benedetta Berti seeks to understand when and why violent actors in a political organization choose to vote rather than bomb their way to legitimacy. Berti argues that the classic theory of the democratization process, which sees violence and elections at opposite ends of the political spectrum, is too simplistic and wholly inadequate for understanding the negotiation and disarmament work that is necessary for peaceful resolution of armed conflicts and movement toward electoral options. In this comparative study, she develops an alternative cyclical model that clarifies why armed groups create a political wing and compete in elections, and how this organizational choice impacts subsequent decisions to relinquish armed struggle. In her conclusion, Berti draws out what the implications are for a government's ability to engage armed political groups to improve the chances of political integration.Berti's innovative framework and careful choice of case studies, presented in a jargon-free, accessible style, will make this book attractive to not only scholars and students of democratization processes but also policymakers interested in conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts.

The author's conceptual framework and case studies are an important contribution to understanding the types of measures that governments need to adopt in order to engage with their terrorist adversaries who may have finally entered the phase in which they are ready to transform themselves into legitimate political actors. -- Joshua Sinai Perspectives on Terrorism Berti's intricate research reveals the history and institutional components of each group beyond what we have come to accept about each. -- Heath Brown Huffington Post The book is a welcome addition to the literature, offering both commendable policy prescriptions and a framework on which other scholars may build. Choice [ Armed Political Organizations] provides an innovative new lens through which to understand and evaluate the creation of political wings by armed groups... a worthy piece of scholarship. -- Rashmi Singh Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs Armed Political Organizations' main contribution is supplying the foundation for future research by formulating key analytical questions about armed groups that have not been addressed in the literature on this topic.
