Sažetak
Contemporary policies and initiatives aimed at addressing radicalisation and violent extremism aim to facilitate a systematic multi-stakeholder approach that encompasses the incorporation of civil society organisations. Despite the general recognition of various roles and potentials of non-state actors in the area of prevention and de-radicalisation, in practice, many challenges and knowledge-gaps are leading to a situation where civil society still represents an underused resource. This paper presents the potentials and capabilities of civil society and community organisations in countering violent extremism and radicalisation. Through an extensive literature review, we investigated good practices in joint collaborations, as well as practical limitations hindering the establishment of a whole-of-society approach. The central aim of this paper is to provide a clear picture of the current gaps and highlight conditions that need to be addressed in the future to facilitate a comprehensive and coordinated approach to countering violent extremism and radicalisation.
