This volume is the result of a scientific collaboration between the Laboratory of Elites, Knowledge, and Cultural Institutions in the Mediterranean (LR 11 ES 28) of the University of Manouba (Tunisia), the FIDR Inter-University Research Center, and the University of Padua. It examines the phenomenon of extremism, which has been experienced by most human peoples and civilizations in its various forms, contents, and dimensions: historical, religious, political, and social. Based on historical experience, extremism has not only been founded on religious ideas (as is often the case today), but also on secular ideas in the past (the colonial phenomenon since the 19th century) and in the present (far-right movements in Europe and America). Since the 1970s, the phenomenon has entered a new phase, involving the use of organized violence for geopolitical and strategic reasons, from leftist movements to nationalist movements, as well as the currents of the “global jihad” (Al-Qaeda and its derivatives). During the second decade of this century, this phenomenon has expanded geographically and become more complex with the emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Africa and Europe). In this context, the research presented in this volume attempts to examine this phenomenon across the ages and to analyze its dimensions and origins using a comparative methodology.
