New book on radicalization has just been published by Collegium Civitas. The collection of papers was edited by Prof. Paweł Kuczyński.

Prof. Kuczyński noted in the opening chapter that in Poland, like everywhere radicalization process begins in the heads but also begins online. It is like a viral disease which finds growth conditions in places affected by severe consequences of inflation, pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

The authors document the rapid growth of extreme attitudes. They pay attention to small, noisy, visible or hidden, dangerous groups that appear in many countries and threaten democracy. The authors of several articles participated in the Dialogue on Radicalization and Equality project, coordinated by the University of Manchester.
