The International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence ( ICSR) is a non-profit, non-governmental think tank based in London whose mission is to analyse and promote the understanding of political violence and radicalisation.
The Director of ICSR is Dr. Peter R. Neumann; the Deputy Director is Dr. John Bew.
The organisation is a partnership of four academic institutions: King's College London; the University of Pennsylvania; the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (Israel); and the Jordan Institute of Diplomacy.
