Please Join Us For  Vulnerability and Resilience of Young People in Kyrgyzstan: Radicalization, Violence, and Extremism with Dr. Emil Nasritdinov

This nation-wide research project explores what makes young people in Kyrgyzstan more vulnerable or more resilient to radicalization , violence, and extremism. This was done using an extensive toolkit of research methods and a wide range of quantitative and qualitative research tools. Analysis was conducted in five domains of young people’s lives connected to radicalization: 1) grievances, 2) politics, 3) religion, 4) socialization, and 5) psychology. The results of our research shows that radicalization in Kyrgyzstan is a very complex phenomenon connected to many aspects of young people’s lives: each domain produces a unique connection to radicalization, and there are many connections across domains.
