There are different views and opinions about the radicalization process itself. Radicalism can be seen as a desire for change in society, which do not have to take place forcibly, but on the basis of the persistence of individuals or groups. In the security discourse, radicalization is mostly discussed in a negative context and has a negative connotation, that is, as a long-term process through which a socially useful person becomes a terrorist, that is, a danger to the state and the social community. The aim of this paper is to point out the causes that lead to radicalization, but also the stages of the radicalization process. People who are exposed to this process show, through their attitudes and behavior, that they are different from the community where they live, it is recognized that they have become different. Such persons accept certain political, religious and separatist goals and emphasize violence as the only way to achieve these goals.
Intelligence and security services are a useful state apparatus; they are considered to be of special importance in every country. They can help protect and develop social relations, but they can also be an obstacle to the democratic development of society. The subject of this research is the social control of these services, which, if not appropriately resolved, instead of being in the purpose of society, can be used to serve the interests of powerful individuals and groups, which is completely contrary to their statutory role. The issue of intelligence service control in each country is of great importance for the development of democratic relations. In a divided society, such as the one in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it has a larger dimension due to the still present ethnic tensions and the disagreement of political elites on many issues, the most important of which is the interpretation of the Dayton Agreement. The paper presents the development of civilian intelligence services in BiH, and the way of their social control from the dissolution of the SFRY to the present day. Did it exist only declaratively or were the legal solutions implemented in practice? The aim of this paper is to answer these questions.
