“…Aussi l'exit empruntet-il des modalités très variées qui s'ordonnancent autour de deux dimensions : individuelle versus collective, volontaire versus subie. Tendanciellement, les sociologues des mouvements sociaux ont plutôt envisagé les défections individuelles tandis que les spécialistes du terrorisme ont privilégié la fin de collectifs entiers, soit imposée, soit choisie, soit à mi-chemin en raison du déclin de leurs ressources organisationnelles, en particulier du soutien public (Crenshaw, 1991). Cronin (2006) dégage sept voies, non exclusives l'une de l'autre, de sortie (desistance) collective de la radicalité : L'orientation privilégiée des recherches sur le terrorisme pour les modes de sortie collectifs peut recevoir plusieurs explications.…”

L’article s’attache à l’engagement radical entendu de façon classique comme un militantisme qui, à partir d’une posture de rupture vis-à-vis de la société d’appartenance, accepte au moins en théorie le recours à des formes non conventionnelles d’action politique éventuellement illégales, voire violentes. Il présente un bilan analytique des recherches qui adoptent de façon croissante une perspective de carrière et travaillent désormais sur le désengagement et la déradicalisation. Tout en refusant une interprétation particulariste et a fortiori pathologique du phénomène, il en restitue les spécificités et dynamiques collectives autant qu’individuelles pour souligner à la fois les continuités et les lignes de fracture le distinguant de l’engagement « ordinaire ».This paper explores radical engagement, understood in the classical sense as a form of activism that, from a position of rupture with the society to which it belongs, agrees at least in theory with resorting to certain unconventional forms of possibly illegal or even violent political action. It offers an analytical assessment of research that is increasingly taking a “career perspective” in focusing on disengagement and deradicalization. While rejecting any particularist and, a fortiori, pathological interpretation of this phenomenon, it reviews the collective as well as individual characteristics and dynamics in order to highlight both the continuities and the fracture lines that distinguish radical from “ordinary” engagement

“…While current methods of counterterrorism claim some success, these terrorist organizations still exist. These methods have included counter-messaging, trying to turn the support of the local population away from the terrorists, targeting senior leaders, and seeking to reduce their numbers [Crenshaw, 1991]. All of these methods have relied heavily on intelligence, but intelligence can be flawed, and in turn, negatively impact the choices made based on the collected information.…”

“…15 The literature on social movements posits terrorism may appear at the end of a cycle of the rise and fall of movements of mass protest. 16 Others note that local causes cannot explain global waves, and while ideology is a necessary ingredient, it does not explain it. 17 Long-term analysis of terrorism trends indicate that transnational terror attacks run in cycles with peaks approximately every two years.…”

The strategic interplay between counterterror measures and terror activity is complex. Herein, we propose a dynamic model to depict this interaction. The model generates stylized prognoses: (i) under conditions of inefficient counterterror measures, terror groups enjoy longer period of activity but only if recruitment into terror groups remains low; high recruitment shortens the period of terror activity (ii) highly efficient counterterror measures effectively contain terror activity, but only if recruitment remains low. Thus, highly efficient counterterror measures can effectively contain terrorism if recruitment remains restrained. We conclude that the trajectory of the dynamics between counterterror measures and terror activity is heavily altered by recruitment.
