11	Islamiska staten : en revolution eller något annat? Johansson, Peter January 2020 (has links) Since the cold war, contemporary warfare is more frequently fought between state and non-state actors. The Islamic State is a non-state actor who in a short period of time reached major achievements. Some scientists consider the Islamic State’s warfare as a developing trend of irregular warfare. Despite the Islamic State’s big achievements, it seems the organisation have not been sufficiently studied from a military science perspective. There is an obvious ambiguity in how the Islamic State should be defined. One side in the debate consider the Islamic State a revolutionary actor, the other side consider them as a hybrid one. By examining witch of McCullohs theory of hybrid warfare and Guevaras theory of revolutionary warfare most adequate can describe the Islamic State; this case study aims to increase the current understanding of the Islamic State and its warfare. The analytical result shows that the Islamic State is more adequate described as a hybrid actor. There are many similarities between the two theories, however there are some essential differences that supports the result of this paper. The use of terrorism, the relationship with the population and the use of urban terrain proves that the Islamic State is more adequate described as a hybrid actor.

Sjöstrand-Ahlén, Nina January 2021 (has links) This study aims to shed light on the meaning of parental ability and lack of care in LVU-verdicts concerning women who have returned from IS. The material consists of the judgements of the administrative courts and the results analyzes both the court´s assessments and the women´s opinons in order to make visable how parental ability and lack of care are constructed. Both theory and method are based on Laclau & Mouffe´s discourse theory. The results show that the concepts of parental ability and lack of care are given meaning based on a special focus on women´s agency, which further shows how a security policy discourse is expressed in the judgements. Within this discourse, women´s own driving forces and ideological convictions are considered central to how parental ability and lack of care are constructed. Perceptions of women´s agency in terrorist organizations and in motherhood also fill the concepts with meaning based on normative constructions of gender. Finally, the analysis shows how women´s subject positions are constructed according to the victim/perpetrator dichotomy - which further demonstrates how parental ability is assessed based on a special focus on agency within the framework of a security policy discourse.

13	Islamiska Staten och det revolutionära upproret Westrup, Pelle January 2016 (has links) Since 2010 The Islamic State (IS) has resurrected from virtual extinction and has conquered vast territories in Iraq and Syria. It has transformed from a simple group of insurgents to a conventional army which has claimed to be a state of its own since it announced the for-mation of the Caliphate in mid-2014. Researchers have used many different theories to un-derstand the success of IS which has increased our knowledge of the phenomenon. Even so there are still questions that need to be answered in order to fully understand what we are facing in the Middle East (ME) today and what we might encounter in other parts of the world tomorrow. This essay uses revolutionary theories about Communism and Nationalism with the intent to expand our view of modern insurgencies. More precisely it investigates why IS has been so successful in its conquests, which are done through the narrative of its attitude towards the population of Iraq and Syria. The result reveals that IS uses a combination of the two above-mentioned ideologies. IS keeps conflicts going through constant terror against specific groups thus creating a gap be-tween the governments and the Sunnis in the region. Simultaneously it is trying to create an environment where the inhabitants can experience normal living conditions. The future of the ME is worrying since IS and its way of gaining conquests is hard to battle for whoever is intervening. Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap
14	Det moderna kalifatets strategi – en fallstudie om ISIS Felldén, Daniel January 2019 (has links) In four years, ISIS managed to conquer vast areas in both Iraq and Syria and have proven themselves capable of conducting sophisticated military operations. Using terrorism, they have also shocked the world numerous times, most recently in Sri Lanka during the spring of 2019, in an attack leaving more than 250 people dead. Even today there seems to be a discrepancy in how this organization should be defined. Therefore, this thesis examines ISIS through the years of 2010-2015. The ambition is to explain how this organization can be understood through the contrasting theories of hybrid warfare and insurgency from Frank G. Hoffman and David Galula respectively. This thesis concludes that while ISIS’s initial progression bore strong resemblance to the historically typical insurgent, like gaining publicity through terror and using guerilla warfare to acquire supplies and grow, they became something more. They evolved into a hybrid organization capable of mixing conventional combined arms warfare with the deadly effectiveness of irregular methods, essentially converging terrorism with their conventional units. Using modern technology, they managed to turn both social media and commercial products alike, into effective tools of war. This spectacular metamorphosis that is ISIS, illuminates the requirement for development of new theories, or at the very least, to expand on those present today.

Studien bygger på två metoder, kvantitativ innehållsanalys av 96 artiklar och kritisk diskursanalys på sex uppslag. Vi har valt en eklektisk ansats i vårt teoretiska ramverk och haft utgångspunkt i fyra teorier, gestaltningsteori, genusteori, kriminologisk teori om det idealiska offret samt postkolonial teori om skapandet av ”den andra”. Frågorna som besvaras berör hur kvinnor som ansluter sig och deras handlingar framställs och hur man kan förstå varför kvinnorna framställs på det sättet. Studien visar att i 65 % av artiklarna ger medierna tydliga förklaringar till varför subjekten anslutit sig, men endast i 9 % av artiklarna vi har gått igenom framställs subjekten som att de fattat ett eget medvetet beslut. I övrigt fann vi fyra typiska inramningar kring kvinnors anslutande till IS. Dessa är att hon har blivit lurad dit, att hon gör det för en partner, att hon åker för att hon har en tom tillvaro hemma och att hon har lockats via internet. I undersökningen kommer vi också fram till att subjekten sällan själva får komma till tals. Kvinnorna som har anslutit sig eller som varit på väg att ansluta sig framställs nästan genomgående som att de fallit offer för IS propaganda. Med vårt teoretiska ramverk förstår vi att kvinnorna inte skrivs om som gärningsmän för att de framställs med stereotypt kvinnliga egenskaper. Kvinnorna framställs som antingen ofullständiga eller som att vara i motsats till det som männen är. I en dikotom relation till mannen tillskrivs kvinnorna egenskaper såsom passiv, underordnad, svag och irrationell. ansluta IS Islamiska staten Daesh kvinnor flickor tjejer medier media stereotyp genus den andra den andre postkolonialism rekrytera offer aktör aktiv islam passiv svag journalistik terrorism terror terrorist
16	The Caliphate and the Aiding Sword : A content analysis of "Islamic State" propaganda Larsson, Gustav January 2017 (has links) A content analysis of "Islamic State" (IS) propaganda material released around the movement's proclamation of a Caliphate in 2014, this study is an attempt at analysing ways in which presented arguments express a coherent narrative of symbolic meaning. Using Robert Benford & David Snow's ideas on the so-called three core framing tasks as a clarifying template, I discuss ways in which the analysed material argues for the legitimacy and relevance of the IS movement. IS propagandists argue that the Muslim umma is under attack, and that Muslims need to unite under a common authority that can protect their religion, restore their strength, and counteract their humiliation. The IS Caliphate is presented as a hopeful sign, but is in need of committed recruits who are willing to sacrifice for what is presented as the greater good. As the analysed propaganda is particularly focused on this latter (motivational) aspect of the narrative, it focuses extensively on formulating arguments that reinforce it. I hold that many of these arguments can be traced back to what can be described as appeals to virtues like sincerity, authenticity, and truthfulness – and that all of these are also used to argue for the credibility of the IS Caliphate as an Islamic authority. Arguing that this Caliphate will serve the role of an aiding sword of Islam, it is furthermore presented as a necessary and vigorous structure aimed at protecting "truth" and at eradicating "falsehood".

The concept of ISIS returnees has begun to dominate the debate and there is a common concern that individuals who possess radicalized opinions should return to Sweden only to commit terrorist crimes. The study is based on a qualitative research method, specifically an interview methodology with semi-structured interviews. The study identifies the capacity Sweden possesses, according to experts, both socially and legally, to deal with the problems of Swedish citizens who wants to return from ISIS-controlled areas. The study also aims to examines measures that is the most suitable to apply to returnees from the expert’s perspective. An analysis based on the Transitional Justice framework identified the importance of applying both legal aspects, as well as social processes in order to handle the problems with returnees. Through a review of previous research, three courts were identified, because they previously had the ability to prosecute individuals who committed criminal acts, these are: The Ad-hoc Tribunal, the Hybrid Court and the International Criminal Court. It was therefore considered important to examine these in order to review whether the courts were a legal alternative in the discussion of returnees who committed terrorist crimes. All actors, both international and national, have lack of capacity and efficiency regarding how to handle the ISIS-returnees. The study therefore contributes to an understanding of the capacity Sweden possesses in order to handle the problem of individuals who are now returning from ISIS, and also proposes new ways to handle the problematic aspects about ISIS-returnees to Sweden.

18	‘Vi och dom‘ -Mediediskursen om Islam och muslimer : En kritisk diskursanalys av medierapporteringen om Islamiska Staten i Irak och Syrien Lööv, Rebecka January 2015 (has links) Syftet med denna undersökning är att genom en kritisk diskursanalys av utvalda tidningsartiklar, redogöra för framställningen av Islamiska Staten (IS) i Irak och Syrien. Det avses genomföras i identifiering och analysering av framträdande diskurser i textmaterialet. Undersökningens kritiska ambitioner ligger i ett synliggörande av medias maktposition i samhället med fokus på diskursen om Islam och muslimer. Media tenderar att presentera en bild av IS och tillhörande diskurser utifrån ett västerländskt perspektiv, vilket ger upphov till ett skillnadskapande av ‘vi och dom‘. Västvärlden, i synnerhet Europa och Sverige intar en dominant ställning i textmaterialet och blir på så vis en västerländsk norm. Genom att tilldela aktörer och händelser diverse negativa attribut kan media på så vis ge en orättvis bild av Islam och muslimer, språket är på så vis ett maktredskap. Det är därför viktigt att föra en kritisk diskussion i skolan om hur media påverkar människors förståelse av samhället och religiösa yttringar. Därav är en undersökning som denna viktig för utbildningsväsendet, för att lyfta hur diskurser har makten att påverka människan och dennes syn på verkligheten och omvärlden.

19	Det dolda ansiktet : En studie av kvinnans roll i IS tidskrifter Dabiq och Rumiyah / The hidden face : A study about woman's role in journals of IS Mousa, Jenny January 2018 (has links) Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kvinnans roll framställs inom Islamiska statens tidskrifter, Dabiq och Rumiyah. Studien är grundad på en textanalytisk undersökningsmetod med IS texter i fokus. Frågeställningarna som berörts i denna studie är följande:  Hur framställs kvinnans roll inom IS? Vilka argument använder IS?  Vilka källor refererar IS till? I studiens analys framkommer en ambivalent syn på kvinnans roll, det vill säga även om IS avvisar kvinnor från att delta i strid medger de att kvinnorna är grunden till deras stora framgång i jihad. Männen inom IS styr vad som är gångbart sensationellt i kvinnans roller vilket resulterar i ett patriarkaliskt maktperspektiv som cementerar hur kvinnor och män ska vara. Kvinnans roller utökar IS globala utsträckning med hjälp av producering, propaganda samt rekrytering för att stärka IS nätverk av kvinnor och medverkar till IS överlevnad. is islamiska staten islam propaganda jihad kalifat kvinna moder syster hustru slav kämpe supporter rekryter koran hadith dabiq rumiyah genus kön feminism Religious Studies Religionsvetenskap
