Description
This panel examines, from different angles, the pathways that lead people to engage with and disengage from political violence. Papers will address key questions such as the threat posed by extremism, what leads people in particular contexts to participate in violent as well as nonviolent protest, and how do states and organisations respond to extremism. They will examine the trajectories of conflict and the complex processes that are involved in violent activism. And they will explore post-conflict solutions and the ways in which political violence is brought to an end.
