Deradicalizing Violent Extremists: Counter-Radicalization and Deradicalization Programmes and their Impact in Muslim Majority States

Deradicalization and counter-radicalization programmes refer to programmes introduced to cause change in views and behaviour of detailed and non-detained militants to make them permanently abandon violence and to prevent the emergence of a new generation of terrorists in the future. This book analyses such programmes in eight Muslim majority countries: Algeria; Bangladesh;Egypt; Jordan; Malaysia; Morocco; Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It offers the first comprehensive study of conditions conducive to successful counter- and deradicalization programmes at both the national and international level
