Abstract
The global surge of terrorist attacks by groups linked to either al-Qaeda or ISIS in 2015 turned a sharp spotlight on countering violent extremism (CVE). It also inspired an intense dialogue through global and regional conferences across the world on the present and future approaches to CVE. The overarching lesson from the flurry of conferences in 2015 informed the urgent need for empirical policy-relevant research to provide evidence that will drive responses to violent extremism and terrorism.
