Alternate title:
ISIS
and the
new
threat
from the
margins
Description:
xii, 244 pages ; 22 cm.
Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references (pages 230-233) and index.
Summary:
To what extent does
ISIS
pose an existential danger to our world? Or is it merely a
threat
from the
margins
of inherently unstable states in faraway places? Should
ISIS
be feared because of its future access to weapons of mass destruction?
ISIS
(or the Islamic State) is the most dramatic expression of a
new
era in international politics: uprisings which transform into "irregular warfare".
ISIS
, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, the Taliban are all separate manifestations of a
new
non-state dynamic which has begun to drive international conflict and which now represents a
new
form of asymmetric and hybrid warfare. Global security specialist Paul Rogers provides an account of the rise of these global terrorist movements from the
margins
and presents a
new
argument as troubling as it is compelling: if the rise of
ISIS
can overthrow powerful states in a matter of weeks, what kind of a secure future can the world expect?
