In the final episode of this season, TPV editor Beatrice de Graaf hosts fellow Utrecht University colleague Kees van den Bos to talk conspiracy in terrorism and radicalisation. He draws upon his own work 'Why people radicalize' published by Oxford University Press (2018), as well as the extensive work done on this topic by expert Karen Douglas. They discuss regional, national, and international examples, stopping to think about what could be done, and perhaps what should be done when viewed through the lens of both a social psychologist and an interdisciplinary researcher.

Terrorism and Political Violence is a podcast series produced by the Journal of Terrorism and Political Violence (TPV) in collaboration with Utrecht University. This podcast is comprised of two types of episodes. In Issues up close, editors of the TPV journal will discuss a range of subjects from prominent issues covered by the journal such as the history of terrorism, its causes and consequences, questions concerning political violence and major global trends and threats. In our Book Talks episodes, editors will host conversations with experts from across the field to discuss their current work. More information about this series, and other episodes, can be found on www.uu.nl/en/tpv. With special thanks to Pieter Veen for the soundtrack
