Proscribing Peace - How Listing Armed Groups As Terrorists Hurts Negotiations

Proscribing peace shows how the listing of armed groups as terrorists has made pre-negotiations harder and more prolonged. Drawing on fieldwork in Colombia during the negotiation with the FARC, Sophie Haspeslagh introduces the concept of 'linguistic ceasefire' which becomes a central pre-condition for the initiation of a peace process.
