title = {Radicalization and De-Radicalization between National and Global Jihadism},
year = {2023},
note = {At the turn of the Twenty-first century, a number of violent jihadi
groups laid down their arms, as in the case of Egypt and Libya. Many
of those former fighters ceased actual violence, and some of them took
a step forward, initiating processes of ideological de-radicalization
and doctrinal changes that deeply transformed their stance towards the
State and active confrontation. How was it possible for those groups
to disengage and de-radicalize? Why doesn’t this happen again, among
other contemporary jihadists? Sara Brzuszkiewicz argues that the
answer is simple, yet quite pessimistic: those who de-radicalized were
national jihadists. Once jihad goes global it is no longer possible
for an organic process of collective and political de-radicalization
to happen. Radicalization and de-radicalization between national and
global jihadism. From the first Egyptian national jihadists to Al
Qaeda retraces the trajectory of the jihadists who de-radicalized and
of those who went global, and measures the role of national jihadism
and its characteristics in making de-radicalization a viable option.},
