<![CDATA[Radicalism in higher education has become a strategic issue requiring comprehensive and sustainable prevention through an integrated deradicalization approach. This study aims to analyze the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of strategic management for radicalism prevention through deradicalization approaches in private Islamic higher education institutions in Jambi Province, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach with a multi-site case study design, the study was conducted at three institutions: Institut Islam Ma'arif Jambi, IAI An-Nadwah Kuala Tungkal, and IAI Yasni Bungo. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that the three institutions have formulated strategic commitments reflected in their visions, missions, objectives, and performance indicators, particularly in promoting religious moderation and preventing radicalism. However, these commitments have not yet been translated into comprehensive, structured, and sustainable deradicalization programs. Strategy implementation remains largely general and has not specifically integrated preventive deradicalization into curricula, student activities, digital literacy, and institutional monitoring mechanisms. The evaluation further identifies four critical gaps: the absence of structured deradicalization programs, students' vulnerability to radical narratives in heterogeneous social and digital environments, inadequate technological mechanisms for preventing exposure to radical content, and limited integration of deradicalization approaches into academic and extracurricular activities. Based on these findings, this study proposes a strategic framework for strengthening radicalism prevention through an integrated deradicalization approach in Islamic higher education. The framework emphasizes institutional commitment, curriculum integration, student development, digital literacy, collaborative engagement, and continuous evaluation as interconnected components of sustainable radicalism prevention.]]>
