The phenomenal rise of 'Islamic State' with vast area under its control, strong organizational base, huge financial resources and global recruitment, has posed severe challenges to the issue of state sovereignty, regional order and global peace. Its far-reaching ability to strike in Europe and Middle East has psycho-social and political connotations. The limited efforts to contain the IS have been met with varying successes. However, in the recent past, serious, concentrated and pointed efforts have yielded positive results, as the IS has lost territory, curtailing of supply lines and arrest of potential recruits. How this entity is going to impact the global peace and security depends on the stakeholders how they perceive and act against the IS.

Abstract


The phenomenal rise of 'Islamic State' with vast area under its control, strong organizational base, huge financial resources and global recruitment, has posed severe challenges to the issue of state sovereignty, regional order and global peace. Its far-reaching ability to strike in Europe and Middle East has psycho-social and political connotations. The limited efforts to contain the IS have been met with varying successes. However, in the recent past, serious, concentrated and pointed efforts have yielded positive results, as the IS has lost territory, curtailing of supply lines and arrest of potential recruits. How this entity is going to impact the global peace and security depends on the stakeholders how they perceive and act against the IS.
