Regional and International Conflicts and their Impact on the Escalation of Extremist Organizations' Threats in the Middle East after 2014: Coping and Treatment Mechanisms (ISIS as a Model)

Abstract

Research on the issue of extremist organizations in the Middle East after 2014 is of great importance, due to the geo-economic and geo-strategic importance of the region. The risks and threats that the Middle East suffers from have repercussions on global stability and international peace, as political conflicts have an regional and international impact on the escalation of the threats of extremist, terrorist and takfiri organizations after 2014. This is especially appertaining to ISIS and its violations of human rights, targeting infrastructure, demolishing places of worship and sabotaging historical monuments related to the human and cultural heritage. The research also dealt with the means and tools required to confront or treat these Organizations with an emphasis on the fact that there is a big difference between the mechanisms of confrontation and the means of treatment for those organizations, and how to employ all of this to alleviate their threats and risks and to achieve international peace and stability at the regional and international levels.
