Resumen
En el complejo mundo actual, la emergencia de liderazgos autoritarios, de ultraderecha o ultraizquierda, crea las condiciones de posibilidad para la emergencia de discursos y prácticas de radicalización ideológica, jurídica y violencia política en general. Ante esta realidad, el objetivo de la investigación consiste en analizar, desde una metodología hermenéutica y comparativa, los procesos de radicalización ideológica y jurídica vinculados a la violencia política contemporánea en los Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, con el fin de identificar sus fundamentos discursivos, sus expresiones institucionales y sus consecuencias para la estabilidad democrática y el Estado de derecho, en ambos contextos. Se concluye que los procesos de radicalización, dependen más de la existencia de condiciones estructurales similares, que de la inevitabilidad de un modelo único de radicalidad, condiciones entre las cuales destacan: la grave fragmentación política de las democracias, la deslegitimación de elites tradicionales, la captura de medios de comunicación por actores polarizados y, esencialmente, la incapacidad de los marcos institucionales que constituyen al Estado de Derecho, para gestionar conflictos sociales recurrentes, a través de vías democráticas pacíficas.
