This edited collection considers whether it is possible to discern how the level of ideology is
affected by radicalization. In other words: what happens in the minds of people before they
decide to use political violence as means to attain their goals? Also this book asks: what has
to happen in the minds of people in order to preclude them from using political violence as a
way of attaining their goals? This volume unites scholars from several disciplines and
perspectives from a number of different geographical social and cultural contexts with the
overarching aim to refine our understanding of what 'radicalization' actually implies.
