"Indonesia provides a fruitful case study of differences between radicalization processes in liberal and authoritarian regimes. Political Science hereby tends to emphasize regime type as the determinant of Islamist political strategy (radical, militant or moderate) and therefore as the main explanatory factor for radicalization processes. Although this is true of the role of Islamists in various Middle Eastern countries, where electoral participation has moderated political programs and strategies, it is of little relevance to Indonesia. The democratic opening in 1998 provided Islamists with new opportunities to participate in electoral politics, and even become co-opted by formally 'secular' forces, but at the same time opened up spaces for militant, radical Islamist groups. Whereas radical Islam faced severe state repression under Suharto's New Order, we now find a highly ambiguous relationship between the state and radical Islamists, expressed in operational terms as a parallelism of repression and cooptation. This article tries to make sense of the relationship between the post-authoritarian state and radical Islam in Indonesia by transcending the institution-centered understanding of the role of Islam through an examination of the configurations of social forces that have determined the shape, scope, and practices of radical Islam within Indonesia's new experiment with democracy."

America's approach to terrorism has focused on traditional national security methods under the assumption that terrorism's roots are foreign and the solution to greater security lies in conventional military practices. Europe offers a different model, with its response to internal terrorism relying on police procedures. Managing Ethnic Diversity after 9/11 compares these strategies and considers that both may have engendered greater radicalization--and a greater chance of home-grown terrorism.

This article analyzes Omar El Akkad's 2017 novel American War from an ecofeminist perspective by examining the intersections between environmental issues, gender, and terrorism. The use of different text genres in the broader context of this fictionalized (self) life narrative will also be the focus of this analysis. As a case study for the overall argumentation, special emphasis will be placed on the depiction of the radicalization of the main character, Sara(t) Chestnut.

Trying to face Isis' propaganda, Arab film directors developed a very different way of representing jihadi terrorism from their Western counterparts. Heavily constrained by their production situations, these films (from Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia), insist on a political apprehension of the phenomenon, rather than through the radicalization prism. Their aesthetics aims at ridiculing the jihadi propaganda, or do not shy from presenting violent images in order to denounce this propaganda.

Clay Ramsay, The ideology of the Great Fear; the case of the Soissonais.
Clay Ramsay studies the discourse of revolts and the discourse on revolts. In Soissonais the Great Fear assumed the appearance of a conservative revolution in largely reproducing popular ideologies expressed during the Old Order. However, it also served as a starting point for a process of radicalization by allowing for a transition from a prepolitical mentality to a political mentality.

A counter-terrorism preventative strategy is a must in any nation and such strategies became of even greater importance with the events of 9/11. A properly defined strategy allows not only for a nation to defend itself but to prevent the grounds that may lead to the radicalization of citizens towards violent extremist ideals. Many academics look at these preventative frameworks from a critical perspective and it is the opinion of many that, as it stands, counter-terrorism prevention strategies are not effective, and may actually be at the origin of discriminatory practices. The purpose of this research is not only to understand how a prevention framework is developed but its own effectiveness. This will be ascertained by using the Portuguese case as an example of a nation that has been mostly unaffected by this phenomenon since 9/11 but has nonetheless to deliver its own counter-terrorism strategy due to its placement within the European Union. Portugal was chosen due to the gap of literature on the Portuguese example and the overall lack of knowledge of how counter-terrorism works within the nation. This goal is achieved by conducting interviews with experts on this field and analyzing these results through the Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS) whose framework will allow to determine how the Portuguese preventative strategy compares against the strategies presented by other nations in their preventative activities. Determining what is this preventative framework, how it is aligned with European standards and if it works in successfully preventing the Islamic extremism which was observed in the past years and more recently the rise in far-right extremism observed throughout Europe will be key goals throughout this research. ; Uma estratégia preventiva no campo do contra-terrorismo é uma necessidade para qualquer nação e estas estratégias tornaram-se cada vez mais importantes com os eventos do 9/11. Uma estratégia corretamente definida permite não só que uma nação se defenda, mas previne as circunstâncias que possam levam à radicalização de indivíduos para ideais extremistas. Muitos académicos vêm estes planeamentos preventivos de uma perspetiva critica e é da opinião de vários que, como se encontram, as estratégias preventivas de contra-terrorismo não são eficientes e podem até estar na origem de práticas discriminatórias. O propósito desta investigação é não apenas de entender como um planeamento preventivo é desenvolvido, mas compreender a sua eficácia. Isto será estudado utilizando o caso português como o exemplo de uma nação que permaneceu maioritariamente não afetada por este fenómeno desde o 9/11, mas independentemente precisa de apresentar uma estratégia contra-terrorista devido ao seu envolvimento na União Europeia. Portugal foi escolhido devido à lacuna literária existente para o caso português e um desconhecimento em geral de como contra-terrorismo funciona dentro da nação. Este objetivo será atingido através de entrevistas com peritos no campo e ao analisar estes resultados através do modelo Estudos Críticos ao Terrorismo (CTS) cuja base critica permitirá determinar como a estratégia preventiva Portuguesa compara contra as estratégias apresentadas por outras nações. Determinar qual é esta estratégia preventiva, como está alinhada com os requerimentos europeus e se a mesma é eficaz em prevenir o extremismo Islâmico que veio a ser observado em anos anteriores e mais recentemente o extremismo de direita que tem sido observado pela Europa são objetivos chave para esta investigação.
