The Non-radicalisation of Muslims in Southern Europe

<p>This open access book explains why southern European countries with significant Muslim communities have experienced few religiously inspired violent attacks ��� or have avoided the kind of securitised response to such attacks seen in many other Western states. The authors provide a unique contribution to the literature on violent extremism ��� which has traditionally focused on countries such as France the US and the UK ��� by studying the causes of relatively low rates of radicalisation in Greece Italy and Spain.</p><p>The book explores many of the dynamics between (non) radicalisation and issues such as socioeconomic inequality experiences of conflict and systemic racism and other forms of discrimination. It establishes a new analytical framework for the development of and resilience against violent radicalisation in the region and beyond.</p>
