This handbook provides a theoretical and methodological exploration of the research on radicalisation and counter-radicalisation, one of the most influential concepts in Security Studies, International Relations, and Peace and Conflict Studies.
Sitting at the heart of high-profile research and policy agendas on preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE), radicalisation as a concept has transformed the way researchers, policymakers, and societies think about how to counter terrorism and political violence. Deliberations about radicalisation and countering radicalisation have become further embedded as efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism have been ‘mainstreamed’ into other areas of public policy and practice, such as education, gender relations, health, peacebuilding, aid, and development. Theoretically and methodologically pluralistic, this handbook addresses radicalisation and countering radicalisation as they relate to a wide range of groups and milieus, articulating diverse ideological positions, drawing together insight and experience from multiple geographic and institutional settings, integrating global perspectives, and including scholarship focused on a range of policy fields.
This book will be an essential reference point for anybody working on radicalisation, countering radicalisation, or terrorism and political violence more broadly. The insight that it provides will be relevant for both academics and members of relevant policy and practitioner communities.
"This is a super book, worthy of its important subject matter. The line-up of contributors is stellar, the range of perspectives is deeply impressive. It is destined to become the standard reference text on radicalisation."
Andrew Silke, Professor of Criminology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
"Brilliant! This handbook should be on every student, researcher, practitioner and policy maker’s shelf. A much needed comprehensive, diverse, multidisciplinary and, most importantly, critical approach to understanding and preventing violent radicalization."
Ghayda Hassan, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada; Director of the Canadian Practitioners Network for the Prevention of Radicalization and Extremist Violence
"With definitive contributions from so many of the top scholars in radicalisation studies, this comprehensive handbook is an invaluable resource for academics, practitioners, and students alike and guaranteed to remain so for the foreseeable future."
Noémie Bouhana, Professor of Crime Science and Counter Extremism, University College London, UK
"A key strength of the The Routledge Handbook on Radicalisation and Countering Radicalisation is its multidisciplinary approach to analysing the concept of radicalisation and its various cognitive and behavioural expressions. Contributions raise critical issues relevant to the policy and practice of counter radicalisation and it will be of interest to both practitioners and scholars."
Adrian Cherney, Professor, School of Social Science, University of Queensland, Australia
"This book is a significant contribution to our understanding of radicalisation. It offers a series of coherent conceptual analyses addressing some of the most challenging areas, and also develops practical insights and strategies to address radicalisation in communities and with individuals at both practical and policy levels."
Max Taylor, Visiting Professor, Department of Security and Crime Sciences, University College London, UK
