A Generative Model of the Mutual Escalation of Anxiety Between Religious Groups

2018

We propose a generative agent-based model of the emergence and escalation of xenophobic anxiety in which individuals from two different religious groups encounter various hazards within an artificial society. The architecture of the model is informed by several empirically validated theories about the role of religion in intergroup conflict. Our results identify some of the conditions and mechanisms that engender the intensification of anxiety within and between religious groups. We define mutually escalating xenophobic anxiety as the increase of the average level of anxiety of the agents in both groups over time. Trace validation techniques show that the most common conditions under which …

Modeling Radicalization and Violent Extremism

2020

Given public anxiety about radicalization and violent extremism, it is not surprising that these topics have grabbed the attention of so many scholars in recent years. However, some have expressed concern over the fact that only a few studies in this relatively new field contain empirical data or systematic data analysis or develop causal models of the mechanisms generating these phenomena. We believe that computational modeling and simulation techniques can make a significant contribution to this scientific literature and eventually provide new tools for improving policy analysis. Here we briefly describe (1) an integrative theory of violent extremism proposed by Kruglanski and colleagues …

Radicalization in Correctional Systems: A Scoping Review of the Literature Evaluating the Effectiveness of Preventing and Countering Interventions

2023

Although several prevention and countering radicalization programs in correctional institutions have been carried out in Europe and worldwide, little is known about their effectiveness. Thus, the current scoping review aimed at reporting on the state of the art of the literature assessing and evaluating such actions, identifying knowledge gaps, and examining methods used to assess their successfulness and impact. A total of eight studies that met eligibility criteria were reviewed after performing a search on Scopus, Web of Science, and PsychInfo (Ebsco) databases: Two studies evaluated a reintegration initiative based in the Netherlands; four focused on an Australian disengagement program;…

Encountering Finitude : On the Hermeneutic Radicalization of Experience

YIHADISMO, DESRADICALIZACIÓN, ADOCTRINAMIENTO Y DEFENSA SOCIAL

2021

En el presente trabajo se analiza el programa español de intervención en radicalización violenta con internos islamistas en centros penitenciarios desde el punto de vista de la resocialización y poniendo el foco en el respeto por los derechos y libertades fundamentales, pero también, y precisamente por ello, se cuestiona la imbricación de la Instrucción 2/2016, de 25 de octubre, dentro de las políticas securitarias dirigidas a la incapacitación, y particularmente el hecho de que los destinatarios del programa sean incluidos, todos ellos, en los FIES (Ficheros de Internos de Especial Seguimiento).

Proscribing the Nordic Resistance Movement in Finland: Analyzing the Process and its Outcome

2021

The Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM) was banned in Finland in 2020 after a court process lasting more than two and half years. This article details how effective the ban has been and how the organization has adapted to the ban, both during the process and after the verdict. The NRM has followed strategies similar to previous proscription cases, especially National Action in the UK in 2016, with whom NRM members discussed and shared experiences before the banning process began. Adaptation has meant new organizational forms and the founding of new associations. Before the ban, some commentators argued that it would only radicalize NRM members and that they might move to clandestine actions. B…

Il progetto “Oltre l’orizzonte: contro-narrazioni dai margini al centro”

2020

Il contributo descrive il progetto europeo OLTRE, acronimo di “Oltre l’orizzonte: Contro-narrazioni dai margini al centro”, è un progetto cofinanziato dalla Commissione europea, in particolare dal DG Affari Interni (Fondo per la Sicurezza Interna - Programma per l’Empowerment della Società Civile). OLTRE nasce con la finalità precipua di contribuire alla prevenzione dei fenomeni di radicalizzazione islamica sul territorio italiano, principalmente attraverso una campagna di comunicazione online. Per prevenire la radicalizzazione è necessario ridurre la vulnerabilità dei soggetti ritenuti “a rischio”, nel nostro caso specifico i giovani italiani con background migratorio di fede musulmana.

Mecanismo y teleología en la Lógica de Hegel

2016

<p class='p1'>¿Cómo hay que entender la tesis de Hegel en la Lógica de que “la teleología es la verdad del mecanismo”? La afirmó contra Kant, desde luego; a saber, contra la posibilidad de que lo que parece teleológico sea sólo mecánico; pero no en el sentido de un compromiso dogmático con la realidad de fines naturales y tampoco en el de una refutación del mecanicismo como la que Fichte busca con su radicalización de la filosofía trascendental. Aquí se examina qué posibilidades quedan abiertas cuando se cierran aquéllas.</p>

ESCR Review: Citizenship and Politics

2020

This chapter describes the analyses and results for the ESRC Domain of Citizenship and Politics, guided by two main questions: How digital technology impacts on our autonomy, agency, and privacy; Whether and how our understanding of citizenship is evolving in the digital age. It first provides an initial overview of the major insights from the literature review and analysis, the Delphi surveys, and workshop discussions about the relevant range of the concepts of citizenship and politics in a digital age. Over time the literature shows a shift from issues of public sphere and use of the Internet by government and candidates to more focus on political participation and engagement, especially …
