A doctoral student of mine, Omar Ashour, is doing excellent work on the deradicalization of Egyptian jihadist groups. I don't have a link that I can post of his most recent piece, but the citation is:
Omar Ashour, "Lions tamed? An inquiry into the causes of de-radicalization of armed Islamist movements: the case of the Egyptian Islamic Group," Middle East Journal 61.4 (Autumn 2007).
Omar's work received the 2006 Weller Prize from the Canadian Association of Security and Intelligence Studies for the best graduate student paper of the year, and he was runner up in 2007.
