Terror attacks are followed by public shock and disorientation. Previous research has found that people use social media to collectively negotiate responses, interpretations, and sense-making in the aftermath of terror attacks. However, the role of ideologically motivated discussions and their relevance to the overall discourse have not been studie...
Zur Messung von Radikalisierungsdynamiken in digitalen Räumen wurden im vorangegangenen Monitor-Bericht verschiedene Indikatoren vorgeschlagen. Der diesjährige Beitrag gibt einen empirischen Überblick über verschiedene Weiterentwicklungen und offene Punkte im Bereich Online-Radikalisierung, mit denen sich das Internetmonitoring beschäftigt.

Not only because the Internet can have a reinforcing influence on incipient or progressive radicalization, but also because new forms and potential (radicalization) pathways emer...
In recent years, two phenomena have put Europe's liberal democracies under strain: populism and polarization. The rise of populist parties, the increasing radicalization of publics and political discourse, as well as the expansion of hyperpartisan media have caused concern among observers and citizens alike. While lively academic discussions have r...
