El desarrollo y la evaluación de la eficacia de las políticas contra la radicalización en España

Spain has become a major target of Islamic jihadists due to its specific history and unique geographic location. Since the jihadist terrorist attacks in Madrid in 2004, Spain and European countries decided to increase their focus on Islamic extremism. However, it was only after the domestic separatist terrorism was effectively curbed that the Spanish Government formally focused on addressing the Islamic extremism represented by Jihadism, at the national strategic level. The period from 2012 to 2019 had gone through three stages of development, and Spain’s counter-radicalization policy had a comprehensive course of action, a full range of fields of action, and diversified subjects of action. Since 2012, the Spanish Government has implemented a number of initiatives within the framework of its counter-radicalization policy. The main actions include revising the legislative framework, broadening the channels for citizen participation, strengthening international cooperation, and implementing de-radicalization programs. Overall, Spain’s counter-radicalization measures have made considerable progress in the areas of legislative reform, citizen cooperation, and international cooperation, but they are still facing problems and challenges at the levels of prison de-radicalization, extremist counter-narratives, and central-local cooperation
