“III, Line 4d: The Countering Extremism Directive (CED) emerges in response to a concerning resurgence of terrorist attacks, particularly those driven by xenophobia, racism, and other forms of intolerance. A 2022 report by the Secretary-General highlights how Member States now perceive this brand of terrorism as the fastest growing or most prominent domestic security threat. Notably, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified domestic violent extremism, often rooted in xenophobia and racial resentment, as a significant terrorism-related menace to the United States. Recognizing the limitations of conventional methods such as policing and surveillance, the CED shifts focus on psychological approaches. Its goals are twofold: firstly, to identify new, more effective approaches using psychological insight to disengage extremist sentiment, with a specific emphasis on Racially and Ethnically Motivated Forms of Violent Extremism (REMVE)within the United States. Secondly, the directive aims to develop methods to foster community resilience, thereby mitigating the further proliferation of extremist sentiment. Through these targeted efforts, the CED seeks to confront and address the growing threat posed by extremism in contemporary society.The ongoing research project, Exploring Domestic Extremism: Perspectives of Women in the Far-Right, investigates the complex dynamics underlying the promotion of political extremism, with a specific emphasis on the influence of women in perpetuating such narratives within their communities. Employing a combination of focus groups and a national survey targeting women affiliated with far-right movements, the research endeavors to elucidate the psychological underpinnings of extremism within community contexts, thereby illuminating the ideologies and motivations of social groups such as the TradWives and the Moms for Liberty. The projects objective is to identify potential avenues for intervetion in the countering of extremism.”
