The Impact and Threats of Radicalism to State Security
Abstract
The article analyzes the impact and threats of radicalism on state security. In particular, it examines the historical origins of radicalization, its specific forms, levels of danger, political nature, factors contributing to radicalization, and principles for addressing these factors. The manifestations of radicalism in political, religious, social, national, territorial, and ethnic spheres are highlighted. The process of dissemination of radical ideas within states, activities related to religious extremism and terrorism, as well as measures undertaken by governments to counter these phenomena are explored. It is emphasized that the scope and aggressiveness of radical religious groups and extremist forces pose threats not only to national and regional security but also to peace and stability at the global level. The article also studies practices of social and religious rehabilitation of individuals who have fallen under the influence of destructive ideologies based on religious grounds.
