Countering radicalisation in Europe and beyond. Does the law matter?

Abstract

The purpose of the special issue is to discuss and make sense of existing de-radicalisation and counter-radicalisation legal and policy frameworks in a number of contemporary democracies, namely Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Poland and Turkey, in the chassis of EU hard and soft-law norms. While providing an overall introduction to the special issue, this short article points to a basic clustering of the experiences and suggests a critical discussion of common trends and patterns.
