and the specific. The second part of the paper gives some examples on
the influence of the social context on the phenomenon of radicalism,
with a special emphasis on the Slovenian example. Despite having one of
the lowest degrees of social inequality and other very positive indicators,
Slovenia is a good illustration of the emergence of radicalisation when ap-
parently nothing is wrong.

DEJAVNIKI RADIKALIZACIJE
Naslovna tema je obravnavana skozi koncept, primeren tako za religij
sko kot za politično ideologijo. Gre za koncept »kletke«, sestavljene iz
štirih dimenzij. Prva je kognitivno razmerje do resničnosti (dimenzija z
dvema ekstremoma: relativizem / fundamentalizem), druga je v načinu
delovanja na okolje (reformizem / radikalizem), tretjo dimenzijo pred-
stavlja smer delovanja (navzven / navznoter) in četrto časovna razsežnost.
Radikalizacija pomeni sovpadanje neugodnih kombinacij na omenjenih
dimenzijah, zato jo težko razumemo, če jo reduciramo zgolj na eno ra-
ven in jo kvalificiramo bolj za vzrok kot pa učinek. S tem pristopom se
tudi najlažje izognemo trem najpogostejšim napakam pri obravnavi
radikalizacije: nereflektirani uporabi sinonimov, voluntarističnim kvali-
fikacijam in pa ignoriranju razlike med splošnim in posebnim. V drugem
delu prispevka je navedenih nekaj primerov o vplivu družbenega kontek-
sta na pojav radikalizma, s posebnim poudarkom na slovenskem prime-
ru. Kljub eni najnižjih stopenj družbene neenakosti in kljub drugim zelo
ugodnim rezultatom je Slovenija dobra ilustracija nastanka radikalizacije
v razmerah, ko na videz ni nič narobe.
Ključne besede: radikalizacija, družbena moč, družbena neenakost,
družbeni sistemi, demokracija, ideologija

HOW SCHOOLS CAN REDUCE YOUTH RADICALIZATION
An increased public discourse about the radicalization of youth is nota-
ble since 9/11. There is heightened anxiety about how: youth may turn to
extremist groups; become radicalized, and; act on these feelings to under-
take extremist activities. Schools are increasingly called upon to look out
for youth who turn to radicalized groups, but lack the awareness or train-
ing to thoughtfully address ways in which to create conditions for youth
to not turn to these radicalized groups. In this paper, we argue that in or-
der for educators to support youth in their schools so that they are not
