Popis: ISIS’ territorial ambitions and broader effect need a more comprehensive analysis to understand the group’s effects on international relations. However, research on the group is still far less comprehensive when it comes to its level of agency as a VNSA. By using a three-layered framework on autonomy, representation, and influence (ARI), this paper problematizes ISIS’s revolutionary state formation and attempts to evaluate the group’s potential actorness and identify its nuanced territorial understanding and wider impact.
