Transitional Journeys Into and Out of Extremism. A Biographical Approach

This article describes an empirical study into processes of homegrown radicalization and de-radicalization of young people. Researchers in Denmark and the Netherlands set out to answer the question regarding what pathways in and out of extremism (mainly far-right or Islamist) look like “from the inside.” The analysis is informed by grounded theory, based on interviews (N = 34) with “formers” and their family members on their life courses. The study shows that radicalization often concurs with distinct social–emotional developmental challenges that young people face in the transition between youth and adulthood. A practical implication of the marked transitional sequences in these processes is that each type of radical journey may call for a different type of (re)action.     

Waves of the Black Banner: An Exploratory Study on the Dutch Jihadist Foreign Fighter Contingent in Syria and Iraq

Since the violent escalation of the Syrian conflict, 280 Dutch nationals have been flocking to Syria and Iraq to join jihadist terrorist organizations.

This exploratory study systematically assesses the backgrounds of 217 Dutch jihadist foreign fighters. Additionally, it further differentiates the different “waves” of fighters since late 2012, by looking at their characteristics and comparing their composition.

侵权责任法视野中医疗纠纷的法律规制

侵权责任法按照过错责任的基本原则对医患双方的权益进行了界定,实现了对医患双方的折中、平衡保护。但由于原有医疗纠纷处理法律体系尚存,新的程序性规则尚不明确,新法的规定势必导致医疗纠纷的处理面临两难选择。因此,应当建立以司法鉴定为主线,以过错鉴定为核心的医疗损害鉴定机制,同时辅之以医疗纠纷人民调解和医疗责任强制保险制度。
