Changing experiences of responsibilisation and contestation within counter-terrorism policies: the British Prevent experience
研究了英国预防战略中责任化重点的转变，以及地方政府和穆斯林社区对此的争议、调解与执行，指出该政策复杂且有缺陷。
Preventative, ‘soft’ counter-terrorism policies have proved internationally controversial, as criticisms of Britain’s Prevent strategy show. However, there is a danger that change, complexity and contestation within approaches like Prevent are overlooked. This article examines Prevent’s changing focus of ‘responsibilisation’ and, in response, changing experiences of contestation by both the local state and by local Muslim communities, including mediation and ‘enactment’ by organisations and individual professionals. In discussing this, the article argues for a more nuanced analysis of Prevent, around both the ‘state’ and the situated use of agency and policy space. This supports the contention that Prevent is ‘complexly flawed’.
