My article “European Union, civil society and local ownership in Kyrgyzstan: analysing patterns of adaptation, reinterpretation and contestation in the prevention of violent extremism (PVE)” has been recently published in the journal Central Asian Survey.

This article investigates the agency of EU-funded civil society organisations (CSOs) in Kyrgyzstan by focusing on their contribution to one particular EU instrument: the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP), and its programme: Strengthening Resilience to Violence and Extremism (STRIVE). The findings offer new insights into the processes of adaptation, reinterpretation and contestation through which EU-funded civil society exercises ownership while engaging in the prevention of violent extremism (PVE).
