Look beyond ideology to understand terrorism

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract

To avoid future cases like Shamima Begum we must avoid the general temptation to try to understand terrorism only in terms of ideology: the idea that there is a ripple of extremism percolating in society that has infected a few vulnerable people. Instead, we must look deeper to its root causes.
