ANNOTATION: “This project sought to identify and analyze the processes through which militants leave Islamist extremist groups, assess the effectiveness of deradicalization programs, and derive judgments about policies that could help promote and accelerate processes of deradicalization” (p. iii). Chapters contained in this text are: disengagement and deradicalization; survey of deradicalization programs—the logic behind these programs, what constitutes success, and key components of successful deradicalization programs; Middle Eastern programs; Southeast Asian programs; European approaches; collective deradicalization—similarities, differences, and interaction between collective and individual deradicalization; implications and recommendations. You cannot take a deradicalization program from one country, or even region, and put it in another; the effort will not be very successful. Each program must find its basis in its local culture.
