Transnational Jihadist Threats
We assess transnational jihadist threats on a global scale, spanning from Europe to Africa. Our CT/PCVE initiatives inform effective policies and practices for international counterterrorism strategies.
Programme Introduction
Although counterterrorism and the efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism (CT/PCVE) have significantly diminished in priority for governments in recent times, Islamist violent extremist organisations (VEOs) continue to play a crucial role and significantly influence the increasing trend of political violence. These organisations share numerous characteristics with other conflict participants and are as much a reflection of governance failures as other violent factions.
