The role of the sub-national authorities from the Mediterranean region in addressing radicalisation and violent extremism of young people

The report considers definitions concerning radicalisation and violent extremism, root causes of radicalisation, and prevention and intervention programmes relating to violent radicalisation and deradicalisation in each country. It will also consider the specific needs of stakeholders, particularly Local Authorities (LAs), to improve their approaches and strategies, as well as their institutional and human capacities to tackle youth radicalisation and violent extremism; and will draw upon local perspectives to develop general recommendations concerning prevention and intervention programmes.
