Encouraging Recidivism CONCLUSION War appears to be, or threatens to be, not so much a contest of strength as one of endurance, nerve, obstinacy, and pain. It appears to be, and threatens to be, not so much a contest of military strength as a bargaining process--dirty, extortionate, and often quite reluctant bargaining on one side or both--nevertheless a bargaining process. (1) INTRODUCTION Starving themselves for rights allegedly denied to them by the British government, hundreds of imprisoned nationalists protested the Crown in 1981. (2) The republican prisoners refused food, clothing, and cleanliness to force British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to meet a litany of demands. (3) Publicly, the Prime Minister denounced the strikes and firmly stated that her nation maintained an unyielding policy: the United Kingdom does not negotiate with terrorists. (4) Yet, documents from the period recently made public indicate that Thatcher secretly negotiated with Irish Republican Army leadership to bring about a conclusion of the strikes. (5) These talks demanded a cessation of the hunger strike in exchange for limited concessions detailed by Parliament. (6) Ultimately, these overtures at settlement were rebuffed and the hunger strike resolved of its own volition. (7) Several decades elapsed before the British and the Irish separatists fashioned a workable peace through negotiation. In light of this microcosmic example, and in the face of heinous acts of terror and dissident disruptions, Western democracies--namely the United Kingdom and the United States--stand resolute and publicly refuse negotiations. Adopting economic sanctions and waging war to cripple dissident groups have been the preferred methods for addressing the vexing problem presented by extremists. Yet, as the number and frequency of terrorist attacks remain on the rise, the efficacy of this hardline approach deserves objective evaluation. (8) This Note argues that the United States should abandon its antiquated and myopic policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorist organizations. Instead, the United States should adopt a clear policy of active negotiations with dissident groups in order to reach agreements that further American interests and mollify terrorist activities. This Note suggests--as very few commentators to date have--that such a policy of alternative dispute resolution may be effectively used in tandem with America's economic and military might to dismantle extremist threats to the United States. (9) In order to illustrate both the feasibility and the benefits of a policy of negotiating with terrorists, this Note employs a two-part case study. What follows focuses on the lessons garnered from the British experience with the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) and explains how the United States might adopt a similar strategy in its war against al-Qaeda. This Note is divided into several sections to facilitate the connection of these empirical dots. Part I addresses the terms and definitions at work in this Note, defining terrorists, terrorism, and negotiations. …" @default.
