Test Bank for Gender, Religion, Extremism: Finding Women in Anti-Radicalization by Oxford Studies in Gender and International Relations, 1st Edition

Unlock Effective Anti-Radicalization Strategies

Radicalization and terrorism have been extensively studied, yet the processes leading to radicalization remain poorly understood. Governments worldwide have invested heavily in counter and de-radicalization programs, but their effectiveness is unclear.

A Comparative Analysis of Anti-Radicalization Programs

This book compares anti-radicalization programs targeting Islamic extremism in the UK, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, the Netherlands, and Pakistan. It examines how program tactics differ by gender, revealing the limitations of these approaches.

The Importance of Gender in Anti-Radicalization

The book argues that the gendered way anti-radicalization is pursued hinders our understanding of radicalization. Solutions for male de-radicalization rely on unattainable ideals of masculinity, while female de-radicalization is seen as a rescue mission.

By highlighting the consequences of these programs, the book proposes an alternative approach rooted in feminist peace, which is transformative, inclusive, and sustainable.
