Radikalisering: Begrep, utviklingstrekk og utsikter
Begrepet «radikalisering» ble viktig internasjonalt etter 11. september 2001, både innenfor forskning på terrorisme og i den praktiske utformingen av kontra-terrortiltak. Den forståelsen av radikalisering som fra da av ble utbredt, var typisk noe i retning av en prosess der et individ blir beredt til å støtte, eller selv utføre, terrorisme. Denne artikkelen går gjennom bakgrunnen for og tidlige forståelser av radikaliseringsbegrepet, noen av tilt…
Risikovurderinger for terrorisme og voldelig ekstremisme: Kunnskapsstatus, praksis og ubesvarte spørsmål for Norge
Mange europeiske land har lenge brukt spesialiserte verktøy for å vurdere individers risiko for involvering i ekstremisme og terrorisme. Et slikt verktøy skal nå også utvikles for bruk i Norge, som en del av arbeidet mot voldelig ekstremisme. Med dette som bakteppe går denne artikkelen gjennom kunnskapsstatusen og erfaringene innen terrorismerelaterte risikovurderingsverktøy og reflekterer rundt en del av spørsmålene som både er ubesvarte og rele…
Riskification and the production of threat: A Comparison of Risk Assessments in Cybersecurity and Counter-Terrorism
Vad är frihet? Betraktelser över ett begrepp och en bok
[What is freedom? Reflections on a concept and a book] “Freedom” is on everyone’s lips in today’s public debate – and is particularly claimed as a value belonging to the political right. In this article, Rita Augestad Knudsen takes Lea Ypi’s book Free. Coming of age at the end of history , as her point of departure and reads it as a possible contribution to the current debate. Augestad Knudsen discusses how Ypi’s book can be understood as an atte…
Internasjonal politikk og arven etter 11. september
I dette fokusnummeret ser vi tilbake på utviklingen på noen utvalgte områder innenfor internasjonal politikk (temaet) og Internasjonal Politikk (faget) i løpet av de 20 årene som har gått siden 11. september, 2001. Dette innledningsessayet presenterer de fire bidragene som belyser hvert sitt konkrete tema: bruken av narrativer i internasjonal politikk, faget Internasjonal Politikk, forholdet mellom USA og Russland, og folkeretten. Essayet tar et …
Between vulnerability and risk? Mental health in UK counter-terrorism
The relationship between terrorism and mental health has been a scholarly concern for decades. So far, the literature has concentrated on the relationship between terrorism and diagnosable disorders, and the prevalence of certain psychological traits among terrorist offenders. Meanwhile, the incorporation of perspectives regarding mental health in the operational space of counter-terrorism has been largely ignored. This article explores three cur…
Localising ‘radicalisation’: Risk assessment practices in Greece and the United Kingdom
This article juxtaposes anti-radicalisation policy in the United Kingdom, one of the pioneers in the field, with Greece, one of the latecomers. Drawing on localisation theory, our aim is to understand how ‘common knowledge’ of radicalisation and counter-radicalisation has materialised in the United Kingdom and Greece by exploring the development and use of radicalisation-related risk and vulnerability assessment tools. We argue that the radicalis…
Measuring radicalisation: Risk assessment conceptualisations and practice in England and Wales
Individual ‘radicalisation’- extremism- and terrorism-related risk assessment tools have become increasingly central instruments of counter-terrorism. The scholarship on such tools, however, is still its infancy, and remains concentrated on methodological issues and on identifying the ‘best’ indicator list for carrying out assessments. This article takes a different approach, and examines England and Wales’ Extremism Risk Guidance (ERG22+) and Vu…
Privatization in Kosovo: ‘Liberal Peace’ in Practice
This article examines internationally led privatization in Kosovo as an example of international statebuilding. It concentrates on the period from 1999 to 2008, when privatization was planned and implemented under formal international management. International statebuilding is typically sought justified with the idea of ‘liberal peace’, and this article shows how the tension between the political and economic tenets of the idea of liberal peace m…
