The Program on Extremism pursues multiple streams on a range of extremism-related issues across the globe. From the threats posed by white supremacists and the militia movement domestically to the global jihadist landscape and its nexus in the U.S. to the activities of Islamist groups, we offer a range of research products to support policymakers, civic leaders, and the general public.
