The GREASE project produced the following main outputs and outcomes:
A mapping and background analysis of 26 countries around the world and the ways in which they govern religious diversity and address religiously inspired violent radicalisation covering different parts of Europe including Russia, the Middle East and North Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and the Asia Pacific.
A set of State-Religion Governance Indicators with accompanying toolkit and country assessment reports as well as a Comparative Insights white paper which assesses the robustness and usefulness of our indicators.
Two comparative reports analysing state-religion relations and violent religious radicalisation in different world regions. The reports pull together the results of research conducted by our consortium partners in over 20 countries covering Europe, the MENA region, Asia and Australia. Addressing two crucial dimensions of the GREASE project, our comparative reports consider institutions, norms, policies and practices in regions with diverse historical experiences and cultural traditions.
We also issued four Policy Briefs addressing the following issues
Preventing Religiously Inspired Violent Radicalisation Among Moroccan Youth: Barriers and Opportunities
Preventing Religiously Motivated Radicalisation: Lessons from Southeastern Europe
Managing Religious Diversity and Radicalisation in Malaysia and Indonesia
The Power of Positive Connections: Western European Approaches to State-Religion Relations and Radicalisation
The main publications of the project include an
