Jonathan Paris has just completed a detailed study of European approaches towards Radical Islam, with a particular focus on the UK’s efforts. His study compares the ideological challenges facing Western Europe today with those encountered during the Cold War. It provides a detailed analysis of the ways in which demographics, economics and segregated communities affect social cohesion. It also examines what various branches of the UK government are doing to counter extremism, probes the relationship between foreign policy and radicalisation, and details the inadequacy of the government’s current efforts. Mr. Paris will present his findings, and suggest ways in which Britain can celebrate its values in a way that includes and even entices moderate opinion.[1]
