Related topic:OtherDescription:The paper analyses how different models of governing religious diversity (e.g. strong state control vs. more liberal, freedom-based approaches) relate to radicalisation. It finds that research on this link is limited and fragmented, with most studies focusing instead on conflict and state violence rather than everyday governance of religion. European responses often emphasise “shared values” and concerns about foreign influence, especially in relation to “home-grown” extremism. In contrast, some non-European contexts show stronger state control over religion, which can both suppress and provoke backlash or radicalisation. Overall, the paper concludes that governance of religion shapes the context and responses to radicalisation, but its effects are complex and not yet well understood.Link:Read the documentLanguage:EnglishDate: 11.03.2026Proposed by:PPHSSource:Religion, Diversity and Radicalization (GREASE), 2021
