Dr. Sadi ShanaahLink opens in a new window

Sadi is a Research Fellow in the project with a primary responsibility for its quantitative work package. He mainly works on the development of composite indices for P/CVE (preventing and countering violent extremism) and "neo-liberal" policies of Western countries. He also contributes to the investigation of P/CVE policy diffusion in Europe, using case-studies and discourse analysis of policy documents.

His general focus is on the phenomenon of political violence and is interested in factors, mechanisms and processes that facilitate or hinder political violence, mostly from the perspective of social psychology and social movement approaches. In Sadi's doctoral research, he examined the willingness of British Muslims to engage in actions against Islamist extremism and the factors that facilitate or hinder such engagement.
