Radicalisation in Time and Space

Abstract

The watershed event of 9/11 has unleashed a series of developments in the research on terrorism and political violence, among which the debate of the ‘old’ vs. ‘new’ terrorism, and a sustained focus on Islamist radicalisation, in particular of homegrown nature, and conceptualised as a sui generis process. This panel takes a comparative approach to radicalisation processes, in a temporal and spatial perspective. Addressed should be mechanisms of engagement, repertoires of action, subcultural processes, continuity and difference among various types of groups and movements (left-wing, right-wing, Islamist, single-issue), in different countries and over time, as well as parallels with other forms of political violence. Encouraged are novel theoretical and methodological approaches, interdisciplinarity, but also the transfer of theories and methods developed in the study of previous or non-European forms of radicalisation and political violence.
