The rapid expansion of ISIS and its swathe of territorial gains across the Middle East have been headline news since 2013. Yet much media attention and analysis has been focussed upon the military exploits, brutal tactics and radicalisation methods employed by the group. While ISIS remains a relatively new phenomenon, it is important to consider the historical and local dynamics that have shaped the emergence of the group in the past decade. In this book Simon Mabon and Stephen Royle provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the roots, tactics and ideology of the group, exploring the interactions of the various participants involved in the formative stages of ISIS. Based on original scholarly sources and first-hand research in the region, this book provides an authoritative and closely-analysed look at the emergence of one of the defining forces of the early twenty-first century.

L’islamisme ou islam politique ne cesse depuis de longues années de susciter controverses et polémiques intarissables, en particulier dans le contexte français. Les attentats terroristes commis au nom de l’islam à partir de 2015 ont rendu confus ce qui a trait au fait islamique. La visibilité des signes d’appartenance à l’islam dans l’espace public est ainsi souvent assimilée à la pointe avancée de l’islamisme, qui, lui-même, peut également être associé au djihadisme, soit l’activisme meurtrier. C’est pourquoi une sociologie critique est nécessaire, car elle offre la possibilité d’identifier avec rigueur l’idéologie islamiste, ses particularités, le profil de ses théoriciens les plus célèbres, ainsi que la diversité des modes discursifs et d’action déployés par les militants, entre autres dans le contexte majoritairement musulman, mais pas seulement.

The attacks in Paris in January and November 2015 heralded the beginning of a new wave of terrorism - one rooted in the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq. As ISIS seeks to expand its reach in the Middle East, its territory serves as a base for training and operations for a new generation of jihadis. Thousands of young people from the West, primarily from Europe, have travelled to join ISIS, re-emerging as hardened fighters with military training and a network of international contacts. Many of these have now returned to their homelands, where it is feared they are planning a new series of brutal attacks. The author here explains the phenomenon of the 'new jihadis', and shows why the threat of terrorism in the West is greater than ever before. Based on interviews and previously-unseen material, he provides an essential introduction to one of the greatest crises of our time.

The events surrounding the terrorist group officially known as the Islamic State (IS) have galvanized anti-terrorist efforts far beyond the first reactions after September 11, 2001, and led to varying state responses, especially in Europe, e.g., in addressing the phenomenon of foreign fighters. In "Dealing with Terrorism : Empirical and Normative Challenges for Fighting the Islamic State" an international panel of experts analyses current trends and new developments in legal systems and in law enforcement in Europe as well as in the USA and the Middle East. Offering a succinct overview with special focus on criminal law, police law, and European and international law, the book provides unique insights into what dealing with terrorism means to European and non-European countries. It includes material from non-English-speaking countries that is seldom available to a broader academic community. Its comparative approach offers readers three levels of understanding: by country, in terms of the European Union, and the international community as a whole. The book is geared at specialists in national and international institutions, scholars, and students in the field but will also be of great interest to the wider legal community. Its profound insights and expert perspectives enhance the ongoing national and international debate on public security issues by striking a balance between freedom and security.
