This article proposes a model to conceptualize the process of radicalization. The author maintains that it is not enough to say that “violent radicalization” is the process that turns individuals into terrorists or extremists. Instead, violent radicalization must be understood more precisely as a process of 'de-pluralization' within an ideological framework that is incompatible with mainstream political culture and ideology.
