Policy brief summarising the EU and other stakeholder’s prevention strategy towards violent extremism in the region, Middle East
Abstract
The cooperation between the European Union (EU) and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to prevent violent extremism (PVE) and to counter terrorism (CT) is wide-ranging, and has been so since a formalized partnership between the EU and MENA countries was outlined in the 1995 Barcelona Declaration. It has nevertheless received added attention following numerous terrorist attacks within the EU during the last decade; and European foreign fighters have been linked to the attacks in Paris in 2015; in Brussels, Berlin, and Nice in 2016; and in Manchester, London, and Barcelona in 2017. Consequently, what are the PVE and CT efforts in MENA, and how does it cooperate with key partners in the region? (Introduction)
