Grounds for Cooperation in the Radicalisation Governance Milieu? A Qualitative Exploration of Stakeholder Issue Frames of Online Radicalisation

Description

This study examines how diverse local stakeholders—such as law enforcement, religious and community leaders, policymakers, activists, and experts—define and frame the issue of online radicalization. Through cross-national interviews, the authors identify four shared "issue frames" that shape how online radicalization is understood and addressed. These frames focus on the tension between individual and social perspectives of radicalization, the influence of national contexts, the complex politics of monitoring radicalization online, and concerns about algorithmic surveillance. By uncovering these shared frames, the study highlights the importance of fostering cooperation and coordination among stakeholders to tackle the challenges of online radicalization effectively.
