Islamic Radicalization Processes in Indonesia
Research Guide
What is Islamic Radicalization Processes in Indonesia?
Islamic Radicalization Processes in Indonesia examine the ideological, social, and network pathways leading Indonesian Muslims to extremist groups, with emphasis on jihadist recruitment and de-radicalization interventions.
This subtopic analyzes factors like pesantren education, female radicalization, and political Islam in driving extremism. Key studies cover multicultural education in Salaf pesantren (Marzuki et al., 2020, 90 citations) and de-radicalization via religious education (Arifin, 2016, 85 citations). Over 20 papers from 2008-2022 explore these dynamics, including 10 recent works with 45-90 citations each.
Why It Matters
Counter-terrorism strategies in Southeast Asia rely on insights from this subtopic to design effective rehabilitation programs. Sukabdi (2015, 56 citations) reviews offender transformation processes critical for deradicalization policy. Nuraniyah (2018, 61 citations) reveals female agency in IS support, informing gender-specific interventions. Formichi (2012, 57 citations) traces historical Islamist legacies shaping modern extremism prevention.
Key Research Challenges
Measuring Radicalization Pathways
Quantifying progression from ideology to action remains elusive due to covert networks. Nuraniyah (2018) highlights self-agency in female IS supporters, complicating linear models. Zainiyati (2016, 45 citations) links curriculum to radical movements, urging better longitudinal tracking.
Evaluating De-radicalization Efficacy
Assessing long-term success of programs like pesantren-based moderation is hindered by recidivism data gaps. Sukabdi (2015) identifies critical development areas in rehabilitation. Hilmy (2013, 22 citations) notes radical backlash against deradicalization efforts.
Balancing Moderation and Local Culture
Integrating Pancasila with Islamic education risks cultural dilution or radical entrenchment. Ihsan and Fatah (2021, 47 citations) propose madrasah models in Central Java. Burga and Damopolii (2022, 51 citations) advocate local culture-based pesantren for moderation.
