Abstract

The evolution of technology and then the change in the analytical skills of individuals have brought the world to a new era. On the one hand, the emergence of issues such as new actors and new wars that cannot be explained within the framework of the state-driven paradigm theory and, on the other hand, Repeating these transformations as a model that surpasses them from a mere maladjustment has doubled the tendency for theorizing to understand these issues. ISIL is an example of these developments. The purpose of this article is to investigate new ISIL-centered wars in light of the views expressed about these wars. That the formation of the actor is limited to religious extremism will not provide much knowledge of the state of the new era. This paper, by descriptive-analytical method, seeks to answer the question of how the new era has helped shape ISIS-led new wars. With the change in the nature of power, the new era has led to the formation of a kind of war that is different from intergovernmental wars. Hence, this article, while analyzing the status of the ISIL group, concludes that ISIS is the result of these new conditions, and these wars seem to be the future crisis of the Middle East.
