Abstract
Terrorists and extremists who travel worldwide to carry out attacks are not a new notion, and they have become more common since global travel became more accessible during the twenty-first century. In response to their violent acts, several governments of the world have endeavoured to take several anti terrorist and anti-extremist measures. This study focuses on extremism and its many manifestations, including violent extremism (VE) and counter-violent extremism (CVE), as well as related ideas, programs, processes, and tools. Moreover, it investigates the basic principles of extremism and violent extremism, and various aspects of the domain, such as the factors that contribute to extremism and violent extremism. It also discusses how to tackle violent extremism and defend both internal and external threats, by the development of multifaceted approaches to combating violent extremism on international, regional and multilateral, and domestic levels. Extensive literature reviews, both electronic and written, allowing the exploration of knowledge unique to the research area and offering a system of references for successful subject evaluation.
