The Social and Political Psychology of Violent Radicalism: Peace Psychology Book Series

Autor Serge Guimond, Armelle Nugier
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 noi 2023
This book provides a unique perspective on the perpetrators and victims of political violence, using original evidence from the deadly attacks perpetrated in Paris in 2015. Much of the current literature focuses on the perpetrators of such violence. This volume, however, offers a deeper analysis by focusing not only on the terrorists themselves but on understanding the reactions of the general population affected by such lethal acts. It provides a more detailed view of the opponents of terrorism, namely us, and explains how our own reactions can increase or decrease, the potential for political violence. Part I introduces the most relevant theories within social psychology and political psychology that are used to understand terrorism; Part II examines empirical evidence from a French context; and Part III discusses policy implications, with the prevention of political violence as a long-term goal. Finally, the volume offers a blueprint for a more appropriate conceptualization of terrorism as arising out of intergroup conflict suggesting ways to build a resilient society. This book will be of interest to researchers, teachers and students across social psychology, sociology, political psychology and political science.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book provides a unique perspective on the psychology of activism, political violence and terrorism. From an up-to-date synthesis of existing theories to an analysis of original empirical evidence on when and why people support political violence, the book offers rich, relevant and timely information about human social and political behaviors in Western democratic countries. Integrating macro-societal concerns within a psychological approach, it shows how the effects of national policies on beliefs and behaviors can be studied.  Thus opening the door to an understanding of processes of influence affecting millions of people, and leading to novel insights into the social and political psychology of radical group behaviors. It extends the current understanding of the role of group relative deprivation in violent radicalism, and points to the type of national integration policy to can be most helpful in the prevention of political violence. 
The authors have skillfully used cutting edge theories and empirical research to present a compelling and insightful picture of violent radicalism. This book is very well organized and written so it can be used by undergraduate students, but it also has important lessons for experienced researchers and practitioners.
Fathali M. Moghaddam, Professor of Psychology, Georgetown University, Washington DC, author of “Political Plasticity: The Future of Democracy and Dictatorship”
“This book provides a timely comprehensive analysis of political violence, its causes and solutions. Those interested in understanding activism to radicalization and extremism will gain new insights into these forms of collective behaviour. Guimond and Nugier reveal to all, the hidden and powerful forces of group psychology.”
Katherine J. Reynolds, Professor of psychology, University of Melbourne and Australian National University, Australia
“By comparing different populations, this book challenges stereotypes and sheds new light on the factors that lead ordinary people to commit political violence.”
Constantina Badea, Professor of social psychology, Université Paris Nanterre
