The volume contributes to an emerging stream of research focusing on intra- and inter-group dynamics to explain the emergence and persistence of, or resilience against, violent extremism. It utilises an actor-centric approach, uncovering the landscape of actors that play relevant roles in shaping societal dynamics leading to, or preventing, violent extremism affecting their communities. The analysis builds on new empirical evidence collected in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia, Iraq, Lebanon and Tunisia. This allows for an innovative comparative perspective on two regions in the European neighbourhood that are rarely studied together, even though they seem to share common patterns of (de-)radicalisation and violent extremism, despite their distinct historical, political and cultural trajectories and relations with the EU. In both regions, the book analyses the roles of, and interactions between, state, political, religious, and civil society actors in shaping community vulnerability to and/or resilience against violent extremism. Different types of community leaders are equipped with varying levels of authority, trust, legitimacy and influence on community members. As such, the categories of actors analysed can play either detrimental or beneficial roles, which makes vulnerability and resilience to violent extremism two sides of the same coin. This volume will be of much interest to students of countering violent extremism, terrorism and political violence, security studies and International Relations generally"-- NO Literaturangaben und ein Sachregister CN HN49.R33 SN 9781032544458 SN 9781032544465 K1 Radicalism K1 Ethnic Relations K1 Violence : Political aspects K1 Violence : Prevention K1 Democratization K1 Radikalismus K1 Fundamentalismus K1 Radikalisierung K1 Bedrohungsvorstellung K1 Politisches Bewusstsein K1 Gesellschaftliches Bewusstsein K1 Resilienz K1 Religion K1 Zivilgesellschaft K1 Erde
