Counter-terrorism strategies in Indonesia, Algeria and Saudi Arabia

Abstract

This report is the result of a year-long study, conducted from March 2010 to March 2011, of the counter-terrorist strategies of three countries: Indonesia, Algeria and Saudi Arabia. The aim of this study was to acquire insight into the counter-terrorist strategies of these countries, to analyse them, and to compare them. The main question focussed on how the combination of counter-narratives, deradicalization programmes and political changes (democratization, amnesty, etc.) in these countries interacted. CONTENT: 1.
