The 2016 International Countering Violent Extremism Research Conference was held in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 6-8 December. Co-hosted by Hedayah and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and sponsored and organised by Coventry University, Edith Cowan University, Swansea Univer- sity, the Royal United Services Institute, UN Women, and the Wahid Foun- dation, the Conference presented pioneering research on violent extremism, preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE), and radicalization. This Conference was Hedayah’s third annual Countering Violent Extremism Conference, with the rst two being held in Abu Dhabi in 2014 and 2015. As with the previous conferences, the 2016 Conference provided the opportunity for over 250 practitioners and researchers to discuss current P/CVE research and identify research gaps to advance academic and policy knowledge sur- rounding current P/CVE e orts. This volume provides a collection of papers presented at the Conference.
