Panel 1: Challenges Faced by Deradicalization Programs
• “Deradicalization,” “disengagement,” and “rehabilitation”: how does terminology reflect
the different outcomes anticipated from programs?
• How does the process of radicalization interact with the potential for deradicalization?
• To what extent is the current situation, regionally and globally, propitious for the
success of deradicalization and disengagement efforts? What evidence exists of the
programs’ effectiveness?
• Are some violent extremists beyond the reach of such programs? How may suitable
subjects be identified?
• Is the scope for such efforts expanding or narrowing in each of these regions and
globally? Are the prospects for success bright or dim?
