PREVENIREA ȘI COMBATEREA EXTREMISMULUI: LEGĂTURA DINTRE MIGRANȚI, REFUGIAȚI ȘI EXTREMIȘTI

Abstract

The management of the international migration or refugees flows is a crucial challenge facing states in a globalized international security environment. In this context, trying to put into perspective the relationship between migration and violent extremism is important. It is necessary to analyze the links between migration and violent extremism for several reasons: first, there have been isolated incidents of violent extremism perpetrated by migrants and it is necessary to understand why they occurred; second, it is important to bring data and evidence to bear on an often misinformed public debate; and last, there are links between migration and violent extremism, but not the ones that normally attract attention. Finally, looking ahead, the risk of radicalization among migrants may increase if comprehensive policies to prevent violent extremism are not developed as we speak. The issues addressed in this paper require a global, integrated and multidimensional framework combined with country-specific regional analyzes and initiatives. While regional and country-level solutions are needed, it is equally important to provide a global strategic framework and policy guidance to support progress and a coordinated long-term response. In this sense, international cooperation on migration and border control is essential in order to maintain a state’s ability to regulate population flows and is therefore a vital component of a state’s national security policy.
