ABSTRACT

Rehabilitation, former terrorists and culinary business – when creatively packaged as a ‘social enterprise’ – unfold as a new, cost-effective tool to help religious terrorists return to normalcy without perpetuating the vicious cycle of religious terrorism. This chapter examines a social enterprise from Indonesia and unpacks its key success factors in developing social-intervention mechanisms that successfully disengage terrorists and help them pursue an alternative career to terrorism. The opportunity created provides the former terrorists opportunity to gain employment as well as to reintegrate into society as they pursue a career in the service industry.
