This book examines how de-radicalisation programmes have been
portrayed in the media and details the role of public relations
(PR) strategies employed by such programmes and Countering Violent
Extremism (CVE) to create positive coverage of their work. CVE and
de-radicalisation programmes have seen a significant rise in recent
years and are now cornerstones of many countries’
counterterrorism strategies. Despite the increased importance of
these tools to counter violent radicalisation leading to terrorism,
they remain controversial and sometimes receive fierce public
criticism and opposition. This work looks at how CVE and
de-radicalisation programs are able to influence a country’s
discourse on de-radicalisation, and how far governmental programs
differ from non-governmental initiatives in terms of their PR
strategies. The book also provides a theoretical basis of how the
discourse on CVE is constructed in the media. As major case
studies, this book examines the United Kingdom, Germany and
Nigeria. For these countries, the authors have gathered and
assessed roughly 3,000 newspaper articles on de-radicalisation
programmes over a decade to provide an empirical base. This book
will be of much interest to students of countering violent
extremism, de-radicalisation, and terrorism studies.
