This volume is largely based upon the presentations of a May 2008 NATO-sponsored workshop dedicated to exploring the social and psychological processes underlying radicalization of immigrants in Europe and the related problem of terrorism. Broadly speaking, the sixteen papers collected address terrorism and radicalization in special areas and populations; the emergence and organization of terrorism; and the "societal subsoil nurturing intolerant militancy and terrorism, as against measures and processes nurturing tolerance." Specific topics include pathways of radicalization in Pakistan, radicalization in the North African community in France, distinctions between instigators and perpetrators of terrorism, the use of the Internet to spread "Jihadi" ideology, the psychological vulnerabilities of those recruited into militancy, and the role of acts and cycles of humiliation in engendering rage and terrorism.
