The material is structured along several themes: causes, individual and group motivations for terrorist activities, radicalisation processes, disengagement and deradicalisation, critical approaches to terrorism, state terrorism and the counterterrorism discourse, counterterrorism policies, EU and the fight against terrorism, prevention and EXIT programs.
