Rezensionen

"This book offers original insights into the idea - counter to much received wisdom - that 'talking' can indeed be positively transformative in conflicts associated with terrorist violence, and has been in a number of cases. This is an important conclusion that breaks new ground. Carefully argued, theoretically knowledgeable, and with excellent fieldwork material from Northern Ireland and Mindanao, Harmonie Toros has done us a valuable service by offering persuasive evidence that talking is not a last resort, but should be considered with other responses from the outset. Let us hope that her book is widely read." - Oliver Ramsbotham, August 2012

"Driven by the need to find less harmful methods to engage with terrorism, this book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on the use of dialogue to resolve violent conflict..... its measured approach provides both a strong theoretical grounding and robust evidence for a position that will be shared by many mediators on the ground, and support for a less arrogant approach to dialogue aimed at conflict transformation."- Marie Breen-Smyth, University of Surrey, UK
