Unprecedented Migration Crisis Affecting Europe: Will Western or Russian Style De-radicalization save the European Way of Life? (Part 1)

Abstract

There are five main chapters of the analysis. The first chapter outlines the unprecedented migration pressure on Europe including political, economic, demographic, social, etc. factors. The second chapter gives an account of both Western and Russian de-radicalization efforts, providing a broad understanding of what de-radicalization is. It starts from crisis zones in the Middle East, North Africa and Afghanistan, followed by Western handling of the migration process itself prior to migrant settlement in Europe. The third chapter provides a list of fundamental questions unasked and unanswered by the European political elites. The fourth chapter will analyze some scenarios depending on European policy changes. The fifth chapter will provide recommendations for European policy makers to handle the migration crisis and minimize the damage already done to the European way of life, where de-radicalization and reintegration play a key role.
