Service Overview

Counter-Extremism & Political Islam is a core area of the Organisation's work, examining ideological movements, radicalisation, and the political and security dynamics they generate across Europe and the Arab world.

  • Ideological movements and their political dimensions
  • Radicalisation dynamics and prevention
