项目摘要

The over-arching theme of this Leadership Fellowship is 'The role of ideology, belief and commitment in motivations, justifications and catalysts for action in the face of uncertainty'. It will provide coherence for the Global Uncertainties Programme (GU), enable research to be consolidated across several core areas, make interdisciplinary links between researchers, and draw in a range of external stakeholders. Whilst being central to the GU core area of 'Ideologies and Beliefs', this theme is also relevant to the core areas of 'Terrorism', 'Transnational Organised Crime' and 'Cybersecurity', and to other areas of uncertainty and instability in relation to globalisation, financial markets and climate change. Although sometimes overlooked or marginalised in scientific research, ideologies and beliefs often feature prominently in personal and group accounts of decision-making either as causal drivers or as explanations for the actions that follow. Examples include the role of Islamist beliefs in radicalisation and terrorism, and the culture war being fought in the US courts on evolution v. creationism. Even in cases where actions seem to be motivated by expediency, power or financial and/or territorial gain, ideologies and beliefs may underpin material interests, may be offered as justifications or may contribute to a broad canvas of different influences. Ethnic commitments and loyalties, for example, may partly explain participation in organised crime. Nationalist political beliefs may be part of a suite of causes behind gun-running, computer hacking or money laundering. This 30-month Fellowship brings together researchers and non-academic stakeholders in a programme of activities and events to showcase and identify new applications for research contributing to this theme. It also encompasses a more focused research project, on 'Ideological commitment, boundary making and sacralisation in radical views and threats of violence'. The Leadership Fellow (50%) will be joined by a full-time research assistant, and an administrative officer who will work one day a week helping to organise programme activities.A series of events - aimed to present research projects and to build relationships between researchers and stakeholders - will be organised, including a showcase and networking meeting, two joint UK/North America seminars, schools workshops, a Question Time event, a project symposium, and conference sessions. Collaborating with researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and other stakeholders, the Fellowship team will prepare an interdisciplinary review (on the research theme), policy briefings and forward scans, and resumés and learning resources for a wider public including teachers and young people. In their own research project, in case studies of ideological movements, the team will analyse the connections between 'sacred' claims, boundary-making, strategies of othering, and threats of violence and violent action. They will examine how these are expressed and enacted in the discourses and spatial practices of both religious and non-religious groups (including Islamist and far right movements). They will build on their earlier work, which produced a matrix of markers of extremism. This matrix will now be developed further and applied in an examination of different ideologies and their potential for violence. A key aim of the project is to work with stakeholders to translate the matrix into a resource that can be applied by policy makers, think tanks and other public and private sector bodies researching and assessing issues of risk, security and global instability.The team will contribute resources to the Global Uncertainties website, and will maintain and further develop two other relevant websites that they currently edit, www.radicalisationresearch.org and www.movingpeoplechangingplaces.org, using these as vehicles to disseminate GU research to policy makers, journalists and a wider public.

本次领导力奖学金的首要主题是“面对不确定性时，意识形态、信仰和承诺在行动动机、理由和催化剂中的作用”。它将为全球不确定性计划（GU）提供连贯性，使研究能够在几个核心领域得到巩固，在研究人员之间建立跨学科联系，并吸引一系列外部利益相关者。虽然这一主题是“意识形态和信仰”这一GU核心领域的核心，但它也与“恐怖主义”、“跨国有组织犯罪”和“网络安全”等核心领域以及与全球化、金融市场和气候变化相关的其他不确定性和不稳定性领域相关。虽然在科学研究中有时被忽视或边缘化，但意识形态和信仰往往在个人和群体的决策解释中占据突出地位，要么作为因果驱动因素，要么作为随后行动的解释。例子包括伊斯兰信仰在激进化和恐怖主义中的作用，以及在美国法院就进化论与神创论展开的文化战争。即使在行动似乎是出于权宜之计、权力或经济和/或领土利益的情况下，意识形态和信仰也可能是物质利益的基础，可能被当作理由，或可能助长各种各样的影响。例如，种族承诺和忠诚可能部分解释了参与有组织犯罪的原因。民族主义的政治信仰可能是枪支走私、电脑黑客和洗钱背后的一系列原因之一。这项为期30个月的奖学金将研究人员和非学术利益相关者聚集在一起，开展一系列活动和活动，展示和确定有助于这一主题的研究的新应用。它还包括一个更集中的研究项目，关于“激进观点和暴力威胁中的意识形态承诺、边界制定和神圣化”。领导力研究员（50%）将由一名全职研究助理和一名行政官员加入，他将每周工作一天，帮助组织项目活动。将组织一系列旨在展示研究项目并在研究人员和利益相关者之间建立关系的活动，包括一个展示和交流会议、两个英国/北美联合研讨会、学校讲习班、一个提问时间活动、一个项目研讨会和会议。研究小组将与研究人员、政策制定者、从业人员和其他利益攸关方合作，准备一份（关于研究主题的）跨学科审查报告、政策简报和转发扫描，以及面向包括教师和年轻人在内的更广泛公众的简历和学习资源。在他们自己的研究项目中，在意识形态运动的案例研究中，团队将分析“神圣”主张、边界制定、他人策略、暴力威胁和暴力行动之间的联系。他们将研究这些如何在宗教和非宗教团体（包括伊斯兰教和极右翼运动）的话语和空间实践中表达和颁布。他们将在早期工作的基础上继续努力，后者产生了一系列极端主义的标志。现在将进一步发展这一矩阵，并将其应用于审查不同的意识形态及其暴力的可能性。该项目的一个主要目标是与利益攸关方合作，将矩阵转化为政策制定者、智库和其他公共和私营部门机构可以应用的资源，用于研究和评估风险、安全和全球不稳定问题。该小组将为全球不确定性网站提供资源，并将维持和进一步发展他们目前编辑的另外两个相关网站www.radicalisationresearch.org和www.movingpeoplechangingplaces.org，利用这些网站向决策者、记者和更广泛的公众传播GU的研究。
