However, the role of governments and issues relating to state terrorism and the counter-terror state remain important considerations. This book presents an understanding of the concept of Countering Violent Extremism 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide-ranging and provocative treatment of political violence today. \u003ci\u003eCountering Violent Extremism\u003c\/i\u003e not only provides researchers with a set of critical resources through which to interrogate dominant conceptions of extremism and terrorism. It also offers practitioners an important set of tools with which to situate and address diverse forms of violence. The book deserves the wide audience it will no doubt receive. * Lee Jarvis, Professor of International Politics and Research Director, University of East Anglia, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCountering Violent Extremism: The International Deradicalization Agenda\u003c\/i\u003e provides a deeply insightful overview – and trenchant critique – of the contemporary terrorism and de-radicalisation field. I was particularly impressed with the clear and concise but always sophisticated analysis of this complex and often perplexing subject, and the simple but profound conclusions it draws about responding to political violence. A fine example of applied critical thinking and research-informed analysis, it should be required reading for everyone involved in the de-radicalisation field, whether as researchers or practitioners. * Richard Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand *\u003cbr\u003eChallenging the status quo is as crucial for CVE as it is for global security, especially when considering that the status quo can lead to ignoring or misrepresenting the underlying causes of terrorism and extremism. This book is a welcome departure from stagnant CVE evaluations that contribute to lackluster or damaging programming. * Kris McGuffie, Deputy Director, Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism, Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the book Acknowledgements Part One Terrorism and states 1 Definitional challenges 2 State terrorism 3 The counter-terror state 4 Genocide and ethnic cleansing Part Two Disentangling violent extremism 5 Individual factors in terrorism 6 The social science of extremism 7 Reciprocal radicalization 8 Countering reciprocal radicalization 9 The UK ‘Prevent’ agenda Part Three Deradicalization 10 Leaving terrorism behind 11 Disordered deradicalization 12 Driven to hate 13 Terror politics  Notes Bibliography Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020680134999,"sku":"9781838607227","price":56.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781838607227.jpg?v=1750784071","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/countering-violent-extremism-the-international-deradicalization-agenda-9781838607227","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
