The Counter Extremism Network was created to highlight and bring together the work of individuals and organizations engaged in defeating violent extremism and terrorism around the world. Our goal is to help coordinate, share information, and raise awareness of the many strategies, approaches, and research findings that attempt to tackle the seemingly intractable problem of violent extremism in order to reduce regional insecurity and improve public safety and national security.
