This accessible book identifies twelve mechanisms of political
radicalization that can move individuals, groups, and the masses to
increased sympathy and support for political violence. Terrorism is
an extreme form of radicalization, and the book describes pathways
to terrorism to demonstrate the twelve mechanisms at work.
Written by two psychologists who are acknowledged radicalization
experts and consultants to the Department of Homeland Security,
Friction draws heavily on case histories. The case material is
wide-ranging - drawn from Russia in the late 1800s, the US in the
1970s, and the radical Islam encouraged by the fall of the Soviet
Union in the 1990s. Taken together, the twelve mechanisms show how
unexceptional people are moved to exceptional violence in the
conflict between states and non-state challengers. Captivating, and
with psychological overtones, this timely book covers one of the
most pressing issues of our time.
