The prevention of radicalization, violent extremism, and terrorism through the Republika Srpska education system
: Education is a source of knowledge about social phenomena and processes and plays a significant role in the prevention of socially harmful behaviors. This paper analyzes the extent to which educational content about radicalization, violent extremism, and terrorism in elementary, secondary, and higher education (public universities) is present, and the extent to which envisaged teaching topics are tailored to the current security environment. According to the keywords “radicalization”, “violent extremism” and “terrorism”, the curricula for all three levels of education in the Republika Srpska were analyzed and quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted thereafter. The research findings demonstrated that the topics of radicalization, violent ex-tremism, and terrorism are not addressed in primary and secondary education. Regarding higher education, there is a clear lack of courses in this field within many study programs. Topics in the study of terrorism have largely remained peripheral within the Republika Srpska education policy.
