This article analyzes the global transformations of jihadist movements towards abandoning and de-legitimizing political violence in general and terrorism in particular. It focuses on the de-radicalization process of Libya's largest armed Islamist movement: the Islamic Fighting Group. It analyzes the causes behind those transformations and outlines the necessary conditions for, and policy implications of, successful de-radicalization. The article is mainly based on primary sources, field work, and interviews with former jihadist leaders, mid-ranking commanders, grassroots activists, security and intelligence officers, and state officials.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article aims to answer the following research question: What were the factors behind the Kremlin's decision to invade the Chechen Republic in 1994 and 1999? To answer this question, the author focuses on three independent variables: the strategic variable related to Russian national security; the economic variable centered on the Caspian Oil pipeline passing through Chechen territories; and Russian domestic politics. The author argues that a combination of these three factors, despite their varying importance, led to the outbreak of the Russo-Chechen wars in the 1990s

| Summary/Abstract |
This article aims to explain the endurance of Sinai's insurgency despite its limited military capacity and resources, and the overwhelming man- and fire-power of the incumbent's regular and tribal forces. After reviewing the literature on how insurgents beat or survive strong incumbents, the article offers a short overview of historical developments and socio-political causes leading to the rise of Sinai Province and its military build-up. It then analyses, qualitatively and quantitatively, how Sinai Province fight, based on its original documents and releases as well as on interviews with individuals who fought against it. Finally, the article concludes with an explanation of why did the insurgency survive and, at times, expanded based on the quality of its military tactics. It also provides policy implications, as a result.
