Abstract

This panel examines how experiences of war and political violence shape individual attitudes, social norms, and pathways to radicalisation. Drawing on experimental, survey, and conflict-exposure data from diverse settings, including a divided city and the June 2025 Iran-Israel war, the papers explore when violence hardens political attitudes, when it polarizes communities, and when its effects are uneven or conditional.
