7th Meeting of the European Policy Planners' Network (PPN)

Deradicalisation Strategies and Approaches

24 - 25 June 2010
Copenhagen

Over 20 policy makers, experts and practitioners met in Copenhagen for the 7th Meeting of the European Policy Planners’ Network on Countering Polarisation and Radicalisation.  Hosted by the Danish Ministry for Refugees, Immigration and Integration Affairs, the two-day meeting focused on de-radicalisation strategies and approaches across the PPN countries for Far Right and Islamist extremism.  The meeting sessions looked specifically at the conceptual underpinnings of de-radicalisation, existing exit strategies for those who are radicalised and intervention policies on individuals.  ISD presented two working papers to the Network, including an overall comparative framework on de-radicalisation strategies in the PPN countries and an evaluation framework for counter radicalisation policies.
