Special Issue: Social Pedagogy and Anti-Extremism/Anti-Terrorism

Social Pedagogy and Anti-Extremism/Anti-Terrorism

An International Journal of Social Pedagogy special issue.

 

This special issue examines social pedagogical practices, ideals and ambitions of social inclusion and active citizenship in the global context of anti-extremism and anti-terror politics.

The Council of the European Union formulated a European Union Counter-Terrorism Strategy in 2005, and the EU Commission has put forward a new Counter-Terrorism Agenda in 2020 to better anticipate, prevent, and respond to terrorist threats. National governments have formulated preventive strategies that target a wide range of sectors, such as education, health, faith, criminal justice, the internet, and local communities, to prevent people from becoming terrorists. Further, the strategies identify schools, kindergartens, prisons, NGOs, and other ethnic minority communities as places to have an impact on children and young people who may be at risk of radicalization, and they identify democratic values and citizenship education as examples of preventive measures. Against this background, this special issue aims to lay a foundation for a comparative analysis of the impact of transnational anti-terror policies on social pedagogical ideals, ambitions, and practices.
