Perfect for you if...

  • You work in policy or programme design and need rigorous evidence on what actually works in CVE interventions.
  • You're frustrated by contradictory evaluations and want a structured method to compare vastly different programmes fairly.
  • You're an academic or researcher looking to apply realistic evaluation methods to complex social problems beyond CVE.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're seeking a narrative exploration of individual radicalisation stories or personal testimonies from extremists.
  • You want practical, on-the-ground CVE tactics rather than methodological frameworks for evaluating them.
  • You prefer accessible writing over dense academic methodology and theoretical development.

About this book

Countering violent extremism (CVE) programmes and interventions have expanded across Europe, but the field faces significant challenges. CVE is a complex and relatively new phenomenon, with the term encompassing a wide range of interventions targeting different populations at various stages of radicalization. This complexity has led to a shortage of rigorous evaluations, and the few that exist vary widely in methodology and scope, making it impossible to draw reliable conclusions about CVE effectiveness. Academia currently lacks sufficient theoretical grounding to advise policymakers and practitioners on optimal approaches. This study applies and develops realistic evaluation and realist review methods to create an evaluation framework suited to the complexity of CVE programmes. The research produces a heuristic development of the realistic evaluation method for future CVE studies and identifies relevant contexts and mechanisms in CVE to inform policy development.
