Che cos’è la radicalizzazione.Note di riflessione a margine di un processo di politicizzazione di alcune minoranze islamiste

The article intends to define the meaning of the word “radicalization” in the political and social processes in action in Europe. If the radicalization is the first footstep toward the terrorism nevertheless it is also a cultural phenomenon to itself. In this light it answer to the need to build an identity in the age of the globalization. The radicalization constitutes a sort of new frontier of the claim for those people that feel him excluded, or not represented, from the most traditional organizations. Also for this it intersects with relative facility with that mixes of populism and fundamentalisms that are answering to the crisis of the social cohesion, in Europe as in other parts of the world.

本文旨在界定“激进化（radicalization）”一词在欧洲正在发生的政治与社会进程中的内涵。尽管激进化是通向恐怖主义的第一步，但它本身亦是一种独立的文化现象。就此而言，它回应了全球化时代下构建身份认同的现实需求。对于那些自认被主流传统组织排斥、或未获得其代表的群体而言，激进化构成了其诉求表达的全新阵地。正因如此，激进化能够较为便捷地与民粹主义和原教旨主义的融合形态产生交集——这类融合形态正回应着欧洲乃至全球其他地区的社会凝聚力危机。
