The White House released the United States' first strategy to address "ideologically inspired" violence in August 2011. Entitled ''Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States'' (National Strategy for Empowering Local Partners), the eight page document outlines "how the Federal Government will support and help empower American communities and their local partners in their grassroots efforts to prevent violent extremism." The strategy was followed in December 2011 by a more detailed ''Strategic Implementation Plan for Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States''. The National Strategy for Empowering Local Partners and the strategic implementation plan (SIP) resulted from the identification of violent extremism and terrorism inspired by "al-Qaeda and its affiliates and adherents" as the "preeminent security threats" to the United States by the 2010 National Security Strategy and the 2011 National Strategy for Counterterrorism.〔 Regardless of the priorization of the threat from al-Qaeda's ideology, both the strategy and SIP are geared towards all types of extremism without focus on a particular ideology.〔〔 ==Development== The National Strategy for Empowering Local Partners, commonly referred to as the countering violent extremism (CVE) strategy, was over a year in the making and is the first such effort by the United States government. The National Security Staff (NSS) led the process of formulating the CVE strategy and implementation plan with an Interagency Policy Committee (IPC) on countering and preventing violent extremism in the U.S. established "to consider roles and responsibilities, potential activities, guiding principles, and how best to coordinate and synchronize () efforts".〔 The IPC, along with sub-committees, drafted the CVE strategy which was approved by various government departments and agencies and signed by President Barack Obama.〔 The development of the strategy involved multiple departments and agencies: *Department of State, *Treasury Department *Defense Department *Justice Department *Commerce Department *Labor Department *Health and Human Services Department *Education Department *Veterans Affairs *Department of Homeland Security *Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) *National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).〔 For the SIP, the NSS tasked NCTC "with coordinating the first comprehensive baseline of activities across the United States Government related to countering and preventing violent extremism in the United States".〔 These activities are outlined in the SIP as "current activities and efforts" and were used to identify gaps and guide future efforts.〔 Then Deputy National Security Council Advisor Denis McDonough, quoted in NPR, stated, "This strategy is not so much about how we're changing than having us lay down what we've been doing on a key issue.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Empowering local partners to prevent violent extremism in the United States」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
