Why is it that some social movements engaged in contentious
politics experience radicalization whereas others do not? The
Dynamics of Radicalization offers an innovative reply by
investigating how and when social movement organizations switch
from a nonviolent mode of contention to a violent one. Moving
beyond existing explanations that posit aggressive motivations,
grievances or violence-prone ideologies, this book demonstrates how
these factors gain and lose salience in the context of relational
dynamics among various parties and actors involved in episodes of
contention. Drawing on a comparative historical analysis of
al-Qaeda, the Red Brigades, the Cypriot EOKA, the authors develop a
relational, mechamism-based theory that advances our understanding
of political violence in several important ways by identifying
turning points in the radicalization process, similar mechanisms at
work across each case, and the factors that drive or impede
radicalization. The Dynamics of Radicalization offers a
counterpoint to mainstream works on political violence, which often
presume that political violence and terrorism is rooted in
qualities intrinsic to or developed by groups considered to be
radical.
