Summary/Abstract: Few would dispute the risks associated with the existence of extremism and radicalism. While not all extremists necessarily turn to political violence this dangerous pathway cannot be ruled out, as reminded by numerous acts of political violence worldwide. This national study on the Czech Republic aims to contribute to a better understanding of extremism and radicalism and the road that leads individuals and groups to radical views and social identities. The study provides background empirical data about the development and the state of extremism in the Czech Republic to both professionals in the field and experts interested in advancing further research.
