Eye on Islamism: Islam and Terrorism in the West
Manage episode 355274734 series 3447508
Academic reflection on Islam started in the early 1960s in Europe. It began as a phenomenon linked to migration dynamics when Europe witnessed many migrant populations settling in at that time. More than 4 decades later, this reflection has had to confront new approaches that frequently tend to associate Islam with immigration or violence, especially after jihadist attacks, which have taken place on European soil. The second episode in our mini-series on Islamism will focus on Islam and terrorism in the West by exploring different aspects, including political Islam and Islamist terrorism.
In this episode, Lucinda Creighton talks to Moussa Bourekba, who is a research fellow at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs where he focuses on international relations in the MENA region, democratisation processes in North Africa, Arab youth, and violent extremism in Europe and North Africa. His research also covers Islamophobia in Western countries. Moussa is also an adjunct professor at Blanquerna Faculty of Communication and International Relations at the University of Barcelona where he teaches international relations in the MENA region, violent radicalisation, and P/CVE policies.
