Listen "Terrorism and the Role of Radicalization on "World Class with Michael McFaul""
Episode Synopsis
The term "radicalization" has become linked to Islamic terrorism, but what does it really mean? Are all terrorists radicalized? How do people become terrorists, and how has terrorism changed since the Cold War? Terrorism expert Martha Crenshaw, Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) and Professor of Political Science, answers these questions and more, speaking with FSI Director Michael McFaul.
