Radicalization has become a serious global problem. Groups and
nations are increasingly embroiled in escalating conflicts with one
another that are defined by pathological hatred and ideological
polarization, with devastating consequences including terrorism and
war. Social psychologist Fathali M. Moghaddam calls this process
mutual radicalization. In this groundbreaking book, he explores its
causes and potential solutions. Drawing from well-established
psychological principles, Moghaddam presents a dynamic, cyclical
three-stage model of mutual radicalization that explains how groups
gather under extremist ideologies, establish rigid norms under
authoritarian leadership, and develop antagonistic worldviews that
exaggerate the threats posed by each other. This process leads to
intensifying aggressive actions that can even reach the point of
mutual destruction. Moghaddam applies his model to ten real-world
case studies of mutual radicalization that focus on three main
areas: the conflict between Islamist radicals and extreme
nationalists in the West; nations that are mired in longstanding
hostilities, including North Korea and South Korea; and the
increasingly toxic atmosphere in American politics. Moghaddam also
offers practical solutions for achieving deradicalization and
highlights historical successes, such as German reunification.
