ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses the findings of an in-depth qualitative study of narratives on politico-ideological mobilisation and violence in relation to causes and conflicts in the Arab World. Crucial insights may be gained from engaging with the narratives of those who are the primary subjects and can best narrate their motives and their emotions, while critically analysing the narrative performances and constructions at play. The findings presented here shed light on the iterative processes at play when grievances emerge and individuals engage. While the ambitious design and scale of the study has brought with it the advantage of a transversal and cross-cultural/contextual lens on the phenomenon, focusing on one single context could have had the advantage of complementing the findings with a study of the contextual specificities, the history of the place and the role of social networks, thereby allowing for greater depth.
