Abstract

This article analyzes the jihadist radicalization phenomenon in France. Firstly, I analyze the general approach of some major French scholars about the causes of the explosion of radicalism. Secondly, I analyze from a specific approach, some of the social and biographical aspects of jihadist young people that determine, according to experts, a radicalization process. Thirdly, I make an approximation to the general outlook of de-radicalization policies in European Union, neighboring countries, Spain and autonomous communities in Spain. Fourthly, I analyze the main features of the De-radicalization program carried out by the French Government in 2016 as well as the CAPRI program implemented in the city of Bordeaux. Finally, I extract some conclusions about the jihadist radicalization phenomenon and Deradicalization programs in France in the light of the presented data.
