| Summary |
"In this perspective, the new research report from the NATO Defense College specifies the narrative of the Islamic State. It sets out to deconstruct its geopolitical imaginary by relying on the speeches and statements from its leadership as well as on its various propaganda documents (including maps and pictures). Understanding this imaginary is not only bound up with grasping the movement's interpretation of the sources it quotes, but is the key to better understanding its messianic agenda and its seductive appeal for the young people prepared to join the jihad. Of course, this must ultimately provide the basis on which a successful counter-narrative can be built."--NATO Defense College website |
