In 2014, the declaration of the Islamic State caliphate was hailed
as a major victory by the global jihadist movement. But it was
short-lived. Three years on, the caliphate was destroyed, leaving
its surviving fighters - many of whom were foreign recruits - to
retreat and scatter across the globe. So what happens now? Is this
the beginning of the end of IS? Or can it adapt and regroup after
the physical fall of the caliphate? In this timely analysis,
terrorism expert Colin P. Clarke takes stock of IS - its roots, its
evolution, and its monumental setbacks - to assess the road ahead.
The caliphate, he argues, was an anomaly. The future of the global
jihadist movement will look very much like its past - with
peripatetic and divided groups of militants dispersing to new
battlefields, from North Africa to Southeast Asia, where they will
join existing civil wars, establish safe havens and sanctuaries,
and seek ways of conducting spectacular attacks in the West that
inspire new followers. In this fragmented and atomized form, Clarke
cautions, IS could become even more dangerous and challenging for
counterterrorism forces, as its splinter groups threaten renewed
and heightened violence across the globe.
