Violence, Politics and ReligionA General Theory of Violent Radicalization\nAuthor(s): Sergio Garca-Magario\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032557946, 978-1032557946\nSynopsis\nThis book offers a general theory of violent radicalization and uses case studies from a variety of different countries and groups to illustrate this.\n\nThe first and fundamental objective of the book is to provide an explanatory framework to understand phenomena related to violent radicalization, deradicalization, the prevention of radicalization and to political violence; in particular, that inspired by religion. The second objective follows from the first. Understanding violent radicalization of religious inspiration implies delving into two key concepts: violent radicalization and religion. This second objective is indeed elusive, since, on the one hand, many liberal democracies have undergone processes of secularization or, at least.
