This brief examines some of the different interpretations of radicalization, ideas on why people become radicalized and theories on how people become radicalized. A key argument of the author is that there is no consensus on the definition of the concept of radicalization and that this has serious consequences for counter-radicalization initiatives. In light of this, the author also provides recommendations on how to develop a clearer definition of radicalization as well as how to better use the concept.
