The conceptual framework of cumulative extremism (CE) is characterized by a certain elasticity, which renders the concept in a no man's land between political, social and historical approaches. In his original definition, Roger Eatwell understood CE as: "the way in which one form of extremism can feed off and magnify other forms [of extremism]." This particular concept has hitherto primarily been applied to help explain patterns of mobilization and counter-mobilization between British Islamist and counter-jihadist groups.
