Combating radicalization and terrorism raises various challenging issues, such as:
governmental dispositions and policing strategies dealing with Muslims; the threat
posed by Islamic terrorism; the multi-faceted and elusive dimensions of modern terrorist

explored within the socio-political framework of late modernity and will fit within the
main argument, which is itself supportive of strategies aimed at addressing socio-political
grievances, combating terrorist ideologies, and partnering with and empowering
communities.
