Abstract

The Indonesia government has undertaken a broader range of programs aimed at preventing youth in violence and extremism engagement. However, the youth programs as part of community empowerment, youth’s aspirations and participation usually ignored. This article assesses the local government effort for youth as a realistic form of intervention on preventing youth in violent or terrorist groups. The data collected from in-depth interviews of local government and former terrorist prisoners in Lamongan District, East Java. Findings of the study presented that managing youth empowerment programs as an effort to combat radicalism and extremism often challenged a variety of different and competing interests. This has become one of the obstacles to the success of youth empowerment programs.
