This study extends the P/CVE scholarship from the “what” and “how” questions of assessment (What and how do countries do in P/CVE area?) to the underlying “why” issues (Why do countries choose to define and approach P/CVE in certain ways?). Toward the goal of explaining states’ P/CVE programs, we put forth a “3-Is” framework emphasizing the impact interests, ideas, and institutions on their measures for countering violent extremism. Jointly, these concepts direct our attention to the pragmatic and ideational aspects of policymaking as well as the countries’ institutional legacies. We apply this framework to the case of Kazakhstan to illuminate and explain certain highly visible aspects of its P/CVE program.
