Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study extends the P/CVE scholarship from the “what” and “how” questions of assessment (What and how do countries do in P/CVE area?) to the underlying “why” issues (Why do countries choose to define and approach P/CVE in certain ways?). Toward the goal of explaining states’ P/CVE programs, we put forth a “3-Is” framework emphasizing the impact interests, ideas, and institutions on their measures for countering violent extremism. Jointly, these concepts direct our attention to the pragmatic and ideational aspects of policymaking as well as the countries’ institutional legacies. We apply this framework to the case of Kazakhstan to illuminate and explain certain highly visible aspects of its P/CVE program.
