| book description |

This book examines how global policies designed to prevent extremism have shaped religious and security governance in Tunisia in recent years, focusing on local programmes for training imams. By tracing the evolution of security measures in Tunisia from the colonial era to today, this book highlights how transnational security policiesâ€”particularly those promoted after 2011â€”have reinforced state control over religion. While many studies explore religionâ€™s role in politics, this work shows how international security agendas influence religious institutions and discourse locally. Through interviews with religious leaders and civil society organizations, this book uncovers how Tunisian institutions have strategically used international counter-extremism frameworks to justify increased security measures. It also sheds light on the evolving role of imams as security actors. By linking past and present, this book challenges the idea that counter-extremism policies are â€œneutralâ€, showing instead how they often echo colonial-era policing. This book will be of interest to students of countering violent extremism, securitization, African studies, and International Relations in general.
