In Hold Your Friends Close, Sarah Logan provides the first exploration of counter-radicalization policy and homegrown extremism through a theoretical and historical lens.

Key features - Brings together contributions from distinguished and early career scholars, with expertise in the fields of legal, economic and political history - Compares Scottish and Norwegian state formation, governance of the realm and town law, migration, trade and seafaring across the North Sea - Reflects on and contributes to the methodology of comparative legal history more generally - Each chapter pair is accompanied by an introduction by the editors drawing out the common themes - Organised chronologically, from the mid-13th to the mid-18th century Andrew R. C. Simpson is Professor of Scottish Legal History at the University of Edinburgh. Jørn Øyrehagen Sunde is Professor in Legal History at the University of Oslo.
