Beskrivelse

Since the inception of the term ‘radicalism’ in Enlightenment era Britain, it has taken on many meanings: from referring to the universal suffrage movement to environmental activists and national separatists through to the ‘new radicalism’ of homegrown terrorism and foreign fighters. The variation in how the concept of ‘radicalism’ is applied leaves it open to a critical investigation into its meanings; does it describe certain causes and positions, or does it relate to the manner of application? Is it possible to define ‘radicalism’, or is what is thought of as ‘radical’ determined by context?
