This book presents an overview of the processes involved in radicalization and terrorism,
and introduces a systematic framework which captures the most crucial individual and
social factors involved in determining these processes. The authors begin by considering
the role played by prejudice, economic deprivation, and discrimination, and the cognitive
responses and emotions they can trigger. These responses tend to emphasize the importance
of group membership, and promote intergroup differentiation and polarization, a process
which is often accompanied by more pronounced and more extreme religious and ideological
beliefs. The book also explores the role of cultural values and social climate in
processes of radicalization, as well as personality and demographic factors like age
and marital status. As for violent terrorist action itself, this final most radical
stage is elicited by a number of group factors such as groupthink, isolation, and
leadership. Certain cognitive mechanisms--for example, dehumanizing the target and
deflecting responsibility--can also provide excuses for violence. The book examines
why some groups turn to violence and others don't, and it addresses the processes
of disengagement, deradicalization programs, and other methods used to inhibit the
spread of radicalization and terrorism.
