Abstract
Different practices in the prevention of violent extremism are present in European
countries depending on the socio-political, historical, and cultural context. Dominant trends are those related to a combination of security and social protection
approach, integrated services: social protection, health, education, employment,
housing, and others, as well as various programs for prevention, de-radicalization,
reintegration, and rehabilitation. In the Republic of North Macedonia, the gravity of
this problem is insufficiently recognized, the measures taken are not systemic, but
rather based on ad-hock interventions in emergency situations, while prevention is
insignificant. The institutional capacities for dealing with this issue and its prevention are weak, while multi-sectoral cooperation, despite the introduced initiatives, is
still underdeveloped.
This paper will present the European trends in the social prevention and coping with
the problem of violent extremism, as well as domestic conditions and challenges,
with a focus on social protection.
