Résumé ou extrait
  • Présentation de l'éditeur : "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 ? Or is it simply adept at grabbing land as well as headlines? 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. In this important and original new analysis, Paul Rogers, the distinguished global security specialist, provides a much-needed account of the rise of such 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 ?"
