Walka z gwałtowną radykalizacją postaw w Unii Europejskiej. Podejście normatywne i instytucjonalne
Combating violent radicalization in the European Union. A normative and institutional approach

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to discuss and evaluate the legal and institutional achievements of the European Union in the area of countering violent radicalization. The studyis based on several methods. The first one is the institutional-legal method, which selects thekey legal acts and structures in the issue under discussion. The second method adopted is the method of analysis, which is helpful in evaluating both the normative and institutional parts, as it helps to identify, firstly, the key risk areas for the occurrence of jihadist narratives, and secondly, the methodology that the EU has developed in the area of preventing and combating radicalization.The analysis of the legal acts and the institutional system allows an assessment of theeffectiveness of the measures and methods at the EU' s disposal, which consequently leads to confirmation or refutation of the thesis that the EU's approach to preventing and combating radicalization is effective. The conclusions of the analysis indicate that the EU's action on preventing and combating violent radicalization is centered around places where extremist propaganda is highly likely to spread and radicalization occurs as a result, such as prisons and the Internet. And it is primarily in these two areas that the EU's efforts are focused, both in the normative and institutional spheres. The author believes that the comprehensive institutional and legal tools at the EU'sdisposal in the fight against radicalization are effective, although not without flaws. This, however, does not impede confirmation of the thesis of the effectiveness of action undertaken by the EU and the awareness on the part of this organization that the fight against radicalization is a process that requires constant work and cooperation between many actors.
