  In the study, using data from an international research (Myplace), relying on the theory of
  social representations, we examined the understanding of radicalism of young people aged 15
  to 26 and living in two towns in Hungary (Ózd and Sopron) which differ significantly regarding
  their political socialization. In accordance with an empirical method based on the theory,
  we analyzed the relationship between young people’s attitudes towards nationalism and the
  democratic principles and the representation of radicalism, following the structural and content
  characterization of the representation of radicalism through the quantification of associational
  responses received in the questionnaire survey conducted in 2012.

  The paper analyses young people’s interpretation of the past, evaluation of the present and po-litical behaviour patterns based on semi-structured interviews (n=60) conducted in two contra-sting constellations of modernization, Sopron and Ózd. First the perception of the most pressing social and political problems, second the potential of political and civic actions are compared. Finally an attempt is made to outline a ‚hopeless’ and an ‚indifferent’ idealtype of political cultu-re. Together they create the opportunity for both the birth of antidemocratic tendencies and the space in which they can evolve. In this sense they provide the preconditions for ‚mainstreaming the extreme’ that is the incubation of radicalism in Hungary.
