This book examines the Islamist radicalisation process in Europe,
developing a new theoretical model based on an empirical study of
the evolution of Islamist radicals in their social environment. The
approach of this book is to examine how, and under what conditions,
people choose to radicalise. It focuses on the experience of
radicalisation from the perspective of those who have undergone it.
The study is based on trial and court material, along with an
extensive number of interviews collected from many different
European countries, and this biographical approach is used to
address individuals and the details of their social environment.
Overall, the explanatory framework departs from the existing
deterministic paradigm (with grievances as causes), also present in
some psychological models, and argues that radicalisation is a
process much like occupational choice - a rational choice made with
social and ideational significance. It addresses critically the
assumption that, because the result of the radicalisation process
could be seen as 'abnormal', the cause of it might be of a similar
nature. Parallels are drawn with other forms of extremism and
European counter-radicalisation policies are considered critically.
This book will be of great interest to students of terrorism
studies and political violence, political Islam, social movements,
European politics and IR/security studies in general.
