دور محدد الطاقة في استراتيجية الفواعل المسلحة العنيفة من غير الدول في الشرق الأوسط : حالتا تنظيم القاعدة و الدولة الإسلامية (داعش)‎

الملخص EN

The Middle East region has witnessed a remarkable growth in recent years of violent non-state armed actors due to the spread of armed conflicts and the decline in the state's role, especially after the awaking of Arab spring in 2011.

The role of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS) has emerged in a way that cannot be ignored, especially in the most volatile areas, such as Syria, Iraq, and Libya, as their influence goes beyond many regional and international powers.

With the prolonged duration of these conflicts, the utmost importance of energy resources has become evident as a means of providing the necessary financial resources and revenues to ensure not only the ability of those actors to continue in the conflicts but also to expand their geographical influence to achieve the dream of an Islamic caliphate according to their vision, which cannot be reached without adequate resources.

From this standpoint, this paper seeks to explore the energy position in the strategy of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS) and monitor and analyze its significant implications for the activities of the two organizations towards energy sources in the Middle East region.
