Creating Peaceful Societies by Countering the Phenomenon of Reactive Co-Radicalisation

Author: Dr. Adis Duderija

Abstract / Summary: “In this chapter, I explore the phenomenon of reactive co-radicalization (RCR) in the form of Islamist vs. right-wing radicalism. I also offer heuristic and, to a lesser extent, theoretical insights into how this phenomenon can be countered through deconstructing fundamentalist mindsets and affirming ideas of civilizational hybridity and religious pluralism that can contribute to peaceful conflict resolution and deradicalization efforts, in particular through reference to Catherine Cornille’s factors that contribute to constructive interfaith dialogue.”
