Presented here are a working paper and a policy brief on the implementation of the EU’s policies toward preventing violent extremism both within the union and in regions close to it.
D4.2 Working paper on the implementation of the EU’s policies
Building on previous research showing that the PVE agenda in European Union member states is quite a recent phenomenon and principally aims at preventing violent Islamist extremism through community engagement, this paper looks more closely at the implementation of adopted PVE measures and practices in the EU and a selection of member states, as well as vis-à-vis the Western Balkans and the broader MENA region.
D4.3 Policy brief on the implementation of the EU’s policies
The authors argue that there is still a lack of a common European policy across much of the PVE-board, mainly because there is no real consensus about the roots of radicalization.
