‘Prevent’ responses to jihadi extremism

Clive Walker and Javaid Rehman, June 2017

Summary

Changes in the nature of jihadi terrorism, its likely proponents, and its potential temporal and geographical extent have tipped counter-terrorism more towards holistic and preventative stances than hitherto. Examples can be found at an international level in the United Nations Global Counter Terrorism Strategy, at a regional level in the European Union Counter Terrorism Strategy of 2005, at a national level in the United States National Strategy for Combating Terrorism and also in the UK’s Countering International Terrorism (CONTEST) strategy.
