counteraction + prep

[Setwale_Charm]

Hi!!
I just cannot figure out which preposition would sound better after the word 'counteraction'.
You counteract something = counteraction of/to/against... all of these sound equally bad to me, except the last one probably.

If you give us the entire sentence, we might be in a better position to offer an opinion.

Well, for example:
" The role of.... in ideological counteraction ---- extremism"...
or
"the task of active counteration ---- practices of falsification of evidence in criminal cases"...

 

[El escoces]

For me, the answer is that the noun would be "counteracting", so your sentence would be "The role of... in THE ideological counteracting of extremism" (but "The role of ... in ideologically counteracting extremism" would also work).

That's the way I 've been getting round the tricky matter so far but , after all, there must be some correct preposition there?
