Historical Case Studies of Interactive Radicalisation: Country Reports

This report focuses on the nature of ‘cumulative extremism’ as viewed over time and through spatial comparison. It examines contemporary radicalisation processes through the theoretical frame of ‘cumulative extremism’ in order to understand historic instances of violent escalation, de-escalation and indeed non-escalation. To test many of the assumptions that scholars, policy makers and the media often make when discussing ‘cumulative extremism’, the five country-level reports that comprise this report on historical case studies of interactive radicalisation, examined the phenomenon in a range of different geographical areas and indeed sites of contestation from the street to the institutional level.
