Patrycja Sasnal: The Differences between Radicalization and Extremism | EU-LISTCO

On 10-11 October 2019 the Robert Schuman Centre of the European University Institute (EUI) hosted a two-day event in the framework of the Horizon 2020 Europe’s External Action and the Dual Challenges of Limited Statehood and Contested Orders (EU-LISTCO) project.
The second day consisted of a workshop on ‘Hybrid Governance and Limited Statehood in the MENA Region’. Drawing on the fresh empirical research of the EU-LISTCO project, this workshop aimed to take stock of how areas of limited statehood and contested order have affected forms of governance in the MENA region and what policy implications were determined for the EU.
In this brief video Dr Patrycja Sasnal (Polish Institute of International Affairs) highlights the differences between radicalization and extremism, to what extent radicalism and radicalization can represent a risk rather than a threat, what the tipping points can be to escalate to violence, and what policies can be adopted in order to prevent the shift from radicalism to extremism.
