Education and Security - a global literature review on the role of education in countering violent religious extremism Year of publication: 2016 Author: Ratna Ghosh | Ashley Manuel | W.Y. Alice Chan | Maihemuti Dilimulati | Mehdi Babaei This review demonstrates that the impact of the worldwide proliferation of violent attacks motivated by religious extremism threatens both national and personal security irrespective of location or faith. Education has been particularly damaged by direct attacks on institutions, by the removal of educational opportunity, and by the use of education to indoctrinate and recruit young people. This review suggests that more young people today are being radicalized through soft power – extremist ideas, ideology, narratives and propaganda. It questions whether this can be met adequately by hard power responses, as these methods appeal directly to the psychological, intellectual and emotional states of young people. Education and Security - a global literature review on the role of education in countering violent religious extremism Year of publication: 2016 Author: Ratna Ghosh | Ashley Manuel | W.Y. Alice Chan | Maihemuti Dilimulati | Mehdi Babaei Cette revue démontre que l'impact de la prolifération des attaques violentes motivées par un extrémisme religieux menace aussi bien la sécurité nationale que celle des individus, quelle que soit la religion et le pays. L'éducation a été particulièrement touchée par des attaques directes sur des institutions éducatives, par la perte de toute perspective d’éducation et par l'usage abusif de l'éducation pour endoctriner et enrôler les jeunes. Cette revue avance que, aujourd'hui, force est de constater que plus de jeunes se radicalisent par l'intermédiaire du « soft power » - idées extrémistes, idéologie, récits et propagande. Elle remet en question l'efficacité et l'adéquation des réponses sécuritaires, alors que ces méthodes agissent sur les jeunes à la fois sur les plans psychologique, intellectuel et émotionnel.

(Par l'auteur) Securitisation, Counterterrorism and the Silencing of Dissent: The Educational Implications of Prevent Year of publication: 2016 Author: Aislinn O'Donnell Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis This paper outlines some of the implications of counterterrorist legislation, including Prevent, for the pedagogical relationship and for educational institutions. The concept of ‘radicalization’, central to the Prevent Strategy, is one that is contested in the field of counterterrorism, yet educators are now expected to identify and refer students ‘at risk of radicalization’. Based on the experience of teaching IRA and INLA prisoners in the Republic of Ireland, the author outlines a set of philosophical and ethical principles that ought to underpin education. It is argued that education must not be subordinated to security and intelligence agendas on pragmatic, educational and ethical grounds. Securitisation, Counterterrorism and the Silencing of Dissent: The Educational Implications of Prevent Year of publication: 2016 Author: Aislinn O'Donnell Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis Le présent document décrit quelques impacts de la législation antiterroriste, y compris la prévention, sur l’approche pédagogique et les établissements d'enseignement. Le concept de « radicalisation » qui figure au cœur de la stratégie « Prévenir » est contesté dans le domaine de la lutte contre le terrorisme. Toutefois, les éducateurs sont maintenant en mesure d'identifier et d’orienter les élèves « en voie de radicalisation ». Sur la base de l'expérience de l'enseignement dispensé aux prisonniers de l'IRA et de l'INLA dans la République d'Irlande, l'auteur décrit un ensemble de principes philosophiques et éthiques qui devraient soutenir l'éducation. On fait valoir l’idée que l'éducation ne doit pas être subordonnée aux questions de sécurité et de renseignement pour des raisons pragmatiques, éducatives et éthiques.
