Abstract
Radicalisation leading to violent extremism has become an area of serious concern to the government, policymakers and law enforcement agencies throughout the industrialised world, increasingly implicating communities in multiple ways including political violence, social disintegration and communal grievances. This chapter offers a polemical insight and discussion to the need for a critical review of key concepts in security studies, appertaining to the current contexts in the United Kingdom in relation to radicalisation and more specifically counter-radicalisation. The chapter takes a broader analysis of radicalisation and social cohesion theories and models concerning primarily the root causes of radicalisation. It highlights the potential for community resilience as one strand of counter-radicalisation strategy and discusses ways it may contribute to the best practice and policy in counter-radicalisation efforts. The chapter highlights that community resilience can inform measures to mitigate radicalisation, by utilising local resources that can connect the state to subtleties of communities in which radicalisation has traditionally found ground. It concludes that community-based resilience, if utilised strategically, can function as an effective means of countering radicalisation in the UK, by (1) denying terrorists popular support and ideological legitimacy, (2) helping win the hearts and minds of potential terrorist individuals/groups and (3) facilitating integration and connection with non-integrative enclaves.
