Radicalisation Into Right-Wing Extremism and Multi-Agency Approaches to Counter and Prevent it

Thu, September 12, 9:30 to 10:45am, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: Basement, Constantin Dissescu Room (0.01)

Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel

Abstract

Right-wing extremism and radicalisation towards right-wing extremism pose a major problem internationally. This panel starts from a model of radicalisation as deviant social development that integrates ontogenetic social-developmental processes, proximal radicalisation processes from early adolescence to middle adulthood and extremist attitudes and behaviour. In a second step, educational approaches to prevent stereotypes and prejudice and to counter radicalisation processes in the school environment are presented and discussed. The following sections of the panel are dedicated to analysing efforts to counter right-wing extremism in Germany as well as at international level. As it is becoming increasingly evident that right-wing extremism is a problem that requires the joining of forces of different professions and institutions, a special emphasis is placed on multi-agency approaches, focusing on the goals pursued when working across organisational borders, the approaches followed, challenges and possible obstacles, success factors and outcomes of cross-organisational work against right-wing extremism.
