THE NEXUS BETWEEN HUMAN SECURITY AND PREVENTING/COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM: Case Studies from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Niger, and Tunisia
The Soufan Center, April 2020
Summary
Preventing Violent Extremism and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) efforts are, broadly put, those which purport to engage in non-military interventions to prevent and/or counter “extremist” and “violent extremist” behavior. There is no one accepted definition for P/ CVE: it varies not just among the governments setting P/CVE agendas, but among P/CVE practitioners, researchers, funders, and beneficiaries. There is also no agreed upon definition on what “extremist” or “violent extremist” behavior is.
