Inclusive political power-sharing undermines insurgent recruitment.
Evidence
The Iraqi president nominated Haider al-Abadi as the new prime minister under vigorous protest by Nouri al-Maliki (Morris, 2014). As a first step toward establishing an inclusive government, Abadi has to win the trust of Sunnis and assimilate them into the political system so that they will have a stake in the life of the nation. Were the new government to achieve this reform, it would erode Sunni support for the Sunni extremists and remove the sociopolitical conditions necessary for the evolution of future insurgencies. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2499
