Violent Radicalisation
Follow oD
This series explores violent radicalisation across the world in order to help us gain insights and build resilience both on the local and global levels. While we live in an age of borderless terrorism, in which geographically distant actors coordinate sophisticated activities and impacts, what role do local responses and resources play in building resilience to globally circulating violent radical propaganda and action? And how can we better understand the ways in which violent radicalisation itself is also resilient?
