Abstract

Cumulative extremism refers to a situation in which an extremist idea, narrative, or group leads to the radicalization and extremism of another group as a result of its own attitudes and behaviour. This concept is used interchangeably with terms such as mutual extremism, symbiotic radicalization, or reciprocal radicalization, and points to an exceptional axis of extremism. European countries are the places where the threat of cumulative extremism is most tangible. This is since European countries have multicultural social structures. While European countries have a system based on multicultural understanding and 'coexistence', the last 40 years of the 20th century have seen various challenges to this system. When cumulative extremism is viewed as a process of intergroup conflict and conflict reproduction, important conclusions and inferences can be drawn within the analytical framework offered by realistic conflict theory.

Özet

Kümülatif aşırıcılık, aşırıcı bir fikrin, anlatının veya grubun kendi tutum ve davranışlarının bir sonucu olarak başka bir grubun radikalleşmesine ve aşırıcılığına yol açtığı bir durumu ifade etmektedir. Bu kavram karşılıklı aşırıcılık, simbiyotik radikalleşme veya karşılıklı radikalleşme gibi terimlerle birbirinin yerine kullanılmakta ve istisnai bir aşırıcılık eksenine işaret etmektedir. Avrupa ülkeleri kümülatif aşırıcılık tehdidinin en somut olduğu yerlerdir. Bunun nedeni Avrupa ülkelerinin çok kültürlü toplumsal yapılara sahip olmasıdır. Avrupa ülkeleri çok kültürlü anlayışa ve 'birlikte yaşama' dayalı bir sisteme sahipken, 20. yüzyılın son 40 yılı bu sisteme yönelik çeşitli meydan okumalara sahne olmuştur. Bu bağlamda, kümülatif aşırıcılık, gruplar arası çatışma ve çatışmanın yeniden üretimi süreci olarak görüldüğünde, realist çatışma teorisinin sunduğu analitik çerçevede önemli sonuçlar ve çıkarımlar elde edilebilmektedir.
