New book on young people and radicalisation
has edited a new book on young people and radicalisation, . The book is available in print, or you can read the full version for free online or as a download.
Offering a critical perspective on the concept of radicalisation, the book views it from the perspective of social actors who engage in radicalising milieus but for the most part have not crossed the threshold into violent extremism.
It brings together contributions conducted as part of a cross-European (including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, Russia, Turkey, the UK, and beyond) study of young people's engagement in 鈥榚xtreme right鈥� and 鈥業slamist鈥� milieus.
It argues that radicalisation is best understood as a relational concept reflecting a social process rooted in relational inequalities but also shaped by interactional and situational dynamics, which not only facilitate but also constrain radicalisation.
The book draws on insights from an EU Horizon 2020 project, led by Hilary Pilkington.
