Скачать или смотреть Strategic Communications’ Role in Counter Terrorism - Munir Zamir

This deep dive examines the efficacy of strategic communication in Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE), particularly online counter-narratives. It introduces the Socialisation and Reasoned Action Strategic Communication (SoRaSCo) model, an evaluative framework that integrates socialisation theory, reasoned action models (RAM), and communication studies to bridge the gap between theoretical ambitions and practical applications in counter-extremism efforts.

The deep dive critiques the conceptual ambiguity in radicalization and deradicalization discourses, arguing for a more nuanced understanding that incorporates socialization processes to explain how individuals adopt or reject extremist ideologies. It further analyzes real-world case studies like Abdullah-X, Meta's Counter Conversations Project, and Google's Search Redirect Project, evaluating their design, dissemination tactics, and outcomes against the SoRaSCo framework, emphasizing the challenges in measuring true behavioral change beyond surface-level metrics.

Ultimately, the deep dive advocates for more integrated, ethically sound, and contextually aware strategies that consider the complex interplay of social dynamics, human agency, and communication in combating extremism.
