Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present and analyze the relevant literature on radicalization, and to give an overview of some key points of disagreement and discussion in the current academic and political discourse on radicalization and terrorism. Key events are presented in atheoretical frameworks for understanding radicalization, including debates about definitions, basic causes, recruitment patterns, and phases of the radicalization process. The literature review presents current academic discussions about the complex factors that create a certain type of radicalization, as well as the ideological basics and expressions, organizational structures, manifestations and causes associated with it. The paper will explore ideas, methods and ways ofradicalization, and suggest how to develop and implement effective preventive countermeasures. Radicalization is a phenomenon that is applicable to different individuals and groups, but the focus in the paper is Islamist radicalization.
