Abstract
Terrorism, the phenomena of foreign fighters and European native-born Jihadists, and the processes of radicalization represent a threat for Europe. It is necessary to face the challenge in a European perspective developing and implementing the potential of scientific social research. Terrorist activities are rooted in social phenomena related to processes of radicalization which take place, on a European scale, both in online and offline dimensions. The article proposes the main cognitive elements related to a scientific approach – in a European perspective – to face the terrorist threat, considering potential research paths and obstacles.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
