2.3. ENVIRONMENT AND INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
INITIATIVES
A key aspect is the interrelationship between initiatives and other
actors in the prevention work. In addition to financing, interlinking
with other initiatives in various ways seems to be necessary.
The need to form network structures is already evident from the
existence of initiatives that want to establish a link between different
actors in the field (institutional networks).
The combination of religious, state and civil society actors shows
that the phenomenon is a task for society as a whole. The connection
between security policy and religious and social aspects is important,
since significant risk and protection factors for radicalisation
can also be found in these areas.
When looking closely at the interdependencies of the identified
formats, the formation of network structures generally has several
functions:
a) Generation of knowledge about the phenomenon / Exchange
on specific issues or competences
b) Development of possible ideas for action in order to
help/support those affected or to ensure further care and assistance
c) Evaluation / Further development of one’s own work
The functions of generating and exchanging knowledge are still
poorly developed for the phenomenon of Islamic radicalisation
and this is reflected in the objectives of the initiatives with regards
to the development of concepts and the available format of institutional
networking. 19
A further advantage of interlinking initiatives is the accumulation
of skills. For example, “HAYAT” (2015) shows that the involvement
of actors from social work or the family help facilitate the approach
to the individuals in question. For example, targeted answering
of religious questions by other Muslims (see Dantschke
