{"product_id":"negotiating-the-siege-of-lal-khuram-iqbal-9780199400348","title":"Negotiating the Siege of Lal Masjid","description":"In January 2007, the students of the radical Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) took over a childrens library in protest of the Government of Pakistans decision to demolish mosques and seminaries built illegally on government land. After six months of escalating tension, the crisis culminated in an eightday siege, and eventually ended by an armed assault, resulting in the deaths of over a hundred people and injuries to many more. This tragic outcome of the standoff had a devastating spillover effect, as it turned into a rallying cry for Islamist militancy in the country. Since the siege, militant violence, such as suicide bombings, has continued to escalate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on extensive field research, including interviews with key actors on all sides, this book provides an in-depth analytical account of the events that unfolded during the siege, with specific emphasis on the successes and failures of the negotiation process. It outlines important lessons and practical guidelines for crisis negotiators, incident commanders, and political decision makers, in order to provide them with the tools necessary to manage possible similar crises in the future more effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khuram Iqbal,Adam Dolnik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199400342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199400348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Khuram Iqbal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443300020479,"sku":"9780199400348","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ccee38b-c2d7-4147-b5e0-a616e5202053.jpg?v=1777204578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/negotiating-the-siege-of-lal-khuram-iqbal-9780199400348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
