Ahead of the RESOLVE Network Global Forum on September 18, 2019, RESOLVE compiled publications from speakers at the Forum and members of the Network, the Research Advisory Council, and Advisory Board. The articles reflect salient topics on the agenda of RESOLVE’s signature annual event, including the intersections of psychology, grand strategy, war, neuroscience, and communications with the study of violent extremism. The readings, as the Forum, push the boundaries of the global understanding of violent extremism to reflect on achievements and challenges in preventing and countering the threat.
