This paper explores the potential contribution of socio-psychological and psychological approaches to throw light on the question of why and how violent radicalization occurs in Europe. The author first provides an overview of the main schools and major scholars working with socio-psychological and psychological approaches within the field of terrorism studies. The paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches and identifies the most promising avenues for further research, namely group process approaches and identity theory.
