The Horizon 2020 project PAVE (Preventing and Addressing Violent Extremism) aims to tackle the issue of radicalisation by examining its root causes and driving factors. Based on a participatory and inter-regional approach, it aims to advance evidence-based knowledge on violent extremism in the broader MENA region and the Western Balkans, and to strengthen the capacity of policy-makers and community leaders for an effective prevention strategy between the European Union and its neighbourhood.


CONNEKT (Contexts of Violent Extremism in MENA and Balkan Societies) is a Horizon 2020 EU-funded research project that explores the drivers of radicalisation and violent extremism among young people aged from 12 to 30 in eight countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Egypt, Jordan, Kosovo, Morocco, North Macedonia, and Tunisia.

The project will map and establish interrelationships and specific significance of seven potential drivers within three different levels of analysis.


Blogs

security praxis

security praxis is a collective blog led by PREVEX-researchers from Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Italy, providing commentary and analysis, as well as ongoing discussion of current events and cultural artifacts related to security politics, policies and routines. Individual posts cover a range of topics and geographical areas, but all reflect a shared interest in eclectically discussing security as the meanings of space and territory change, especially within Europe’s borders and along its borderlands. Our blog seeks to explore non-aligned understandings of security and to present uncaptive thinking, often in the form of spurious texts and multimedia fragments, reflecting presumed causal trajectories seen from a certain peripheral distance.
