Radicalization has become one of the great buzzwords of our time. A Google search for the concept produces more than 1,500,000 hits less than terrorism but equal to political violence and extremism . This may seem surprising, given that the term entered the academic vocabulary just ten years ago. Previous generations of scholars had, of course, been interested in why and how people become extremists, but there was no separate field of inquiry which brought together the many political scientists, historians, area studies and terrorism experts, social-movement theorists, and psychologists...

Gezielt erodieren sie das Vertrauen in die liberalen Elemente des demokratischen Systems.
