Countering Violent Extremism

Description

Terrorism, radicalisation and violent extremism dominate sociological, political and cultural concerns in today’s polarised social and political world. However, the role of governments and issues relating to state terrorism and the counter-terror state remain important considerations.

Countering Violent Extremism presents an understanding of the concept from a critical terrorism studies perspective, using case studies from different countries while examining the issues it raises. Extremism and violence do not emerge in a vacuum – nor do the policies that counter these concerns.

There are no simple solutions to violent extremism, but the fixation on ideology can do more harm than good.
