Popis:	A cornerstone of strategic thinking is a clear understanding of one's opponent. Developing such an understanding in dealing with the Islamic State (IS) is challenging. Constraints on access to the frontlines in Iraq and Syria make it unusually hard for researchers to ground assessments in evidence-based approaches. This occasional paper contributes to the development of an empirically grounded understanding of the IS by analyzing the finances and management of the group's predecessor, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), which changed its name to the Islamic state of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in April 2013 and then the Islamic State in June 2014. This occasional paper describes key findings of a joint research project between the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) at the United States Military Academy and the Empirical studies of Conflict Project (ESOC) at Princeton.
