- Title
Breaking down perspectives on counter-radicalisation: A critical review of terminology.

- Abstract
Terminology in counter-radicalisation literature has been the subject of much debate, most notably surrounding how radicalisation and terrorism is defined. This paper explores those terms that have not received as much attention or have not been specified to the area of counter-radicalisation. The issue of language borrowing is raised as terms from specific academic disciplines are incorporated into counterradicalisation discourses without any adaptation. In face of the growing importance of risk and vulnerability evaluations, both risk and vulnerability are discussed with a conceptual model indicating their interrelationship. It is argued in particular that radicalisation requires universal definitions in order to facilitate multinational collaborations and international research. Therefore, new meanings for traditional terms will be explored to see if they can better reflect current understandings in the field.
