The Missing Dots in Terrorism Research: Violent Radicalisation

The theoretical approach to be presented and explored aims at discussing some of the missing dots in terrorism research, especially the “violent radicalisation”. By focusing on the process of violent radicalisation, terrorism research leaves the far too general assumptions of global and unsolvable problems allegedly leading to terrorism (sometimes!?). Additionally it becomes much more feasible for empirical data collection, which in return is a conditio sine qua non for the development and evaluation of any serious terrorism prevention and repression. This seems to be of striking importance given the counter-terrorism measures currently implied, especially in light of their negative impact on human rights and their rather dubious effectiveness in countering terrorism.
