The primary objectives of this analysis are to uncover whether a declining intake of recruits played a lesser, equal, or greater role than a burgeoning loss of personnel in weakening the capacities to regenerate of the three insurgent actors; and, in turn, to shed greater light on the broader validity of the prevailing view in conflict studies that a decrease in recruitment is more important than an increase in attrition in effecting the corrosion of an insurgent actor's capacity to regenerate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the second level of its exploration, the book assesses the effectiveness of five of the most prominent policy prescriptions in the literature and insurgent recruitment and attrition: ameliorating grievances, selective repression, discrediting insurgent ideology, improving intelligence collection, and restricting civil liberties\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and counter-terrorism, conflict studies, strategic studies and security studies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameron Crouch\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently an Analyst at Allen Consulting Group, an Australian economics and public policy consulting firm.
