Zusammenfassung:According to conventional wisdom, radicalization is explained through the presence in a city of, for example, organized crime, melting pots, illegal drugs and arms trafficking.

This article explores this link and determines that the causes of radicalization include the lack of an adequate state presence in areas inhabited by certain marginalized minority groups in Bulgaria and the latter’s choice to adopt radical views to gain money and merely to make both ends meet.
