Abstract

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the counter-violent radicalization has gradually been consolidated as part of the strategy against terrorism. There are more and more states in international society, including the member states of the European Union, who consider violent radicalization, specially of jihadist inspiration, a problem for their internal and international security, practically as the prelude to terrorism, and design measures at the national level and, also, in cooperation with other states to deal with it. This work aims to examine the characteristics of the internationalization of counter-violent radicalization of a jihadist nature within the framework of the European Union. To this end, after determining the interest of the member states in cooperating in this field, traditionally part of the domestic policy, questions relating to the conceptual indeterminacy of violent radicalization will be addressed. Subsequently, it is intended to identify and characterize the mechanisms and instruments designed to articulate this new cooperation space and its particularities. All this with the main goal of assessing the challenges that this cooperation architecture, in which the Member States participate more and more actively, must face.
