Radicalisation has become an important part of the
twenty-first-century security and political landscape. It is a
seemingly ubiquitous term, employed by academics, policymakers,
civil society actors, practitioners and media alike, in
ever-expanding ways--describing everything from changing domestic
social movements to the growth of international terrorism. This
volume provides a comprehensive treatment of 'radicalisation': the
processes during which individuals or groups adopt increasingly
extreme political, social or religious beliefs, positions or
aspirations, particularly in cases associated with the use of
violence. Adopting a multifaceted and comparative approach, the
contributors interrogate this phenomenon from wide-ranging social,
ideological, religious and historical angles. The first part of the
book explores how academia has engaged with the concept of
radicalisation, including the ontological and epistemological
concerns of Critical Terrorism Studies; theoretical models for
understanding radicalisation; and approaches to radicalisation
through the various lenses of identity, gender, youth and media.
The second part explores manifestations of radicalisation through a
range of diverse case studies, including the Falun Gong movement;
Aum Shinrikyo; Far-Right trans-nationalism; white nationalist lone
wolves and the 'Great Replacement' thesis; ISIS and Western
jihadists; deradicalisation programmes; hero myths; the Extreme
Right in Eastern Europe; and the dark side of globalisation.
