Non-state actors can play a pivotal role in shaping political outcomes. Politicians may sometimes seek alliances with these groups to bolster their support base or achieve specific political objectives. This can lead to a dangerous symbiotic relationship between politics and extremism. One of the inherent dangers of this phenomenon is the erosion of democratic principles and the rule of law.

The lack of accountability for actions taken by these non-state actors can undermine the legitimacy of the political process and erode public trust in democratic institutions. It would need robust governance mechanisms and accountability structures to safeguard against the undue influence of non-state actors. The root causes of extremism could be social inequality, marginalization or lack of economic opportunities. These issues are just have to be addressed to promote inclusive governance, because governments need to work towards fostering a more stable and resilient political environment.
