دور القوة الناعمة في مكافحة الجذور الإيديولوجية للحركات التكفيرية المتطرفة: داعش في العراق انموذجا

Abstract EN

Military intervention represents the best option for the rest of options that are adopted to achieve the foreign policy goals of countries, but gradually the countries, especially the largest of them, realized that military intervention results in catastrophic outcomes that lead to material and human losses to the countries that adopt it, so they started looking for alternatives to this option that are more acceptable and with minimum losses on both the level of implementation and the level of con- sequences.

It sought to employ another type of force to achieve its endeavors, and this type was represented by soft power, as it represents non-military tools and means that depend on innovative techniques and leads to greater results than military force.

The research seeks to show how the superpowers were able to achieve their goals and strategies in countries that wanted to control their economic capabilities and interfere in their social and political systems through their reliance on soft power policy.

The research reached results, the most important of which is that soft power, despite the temptations of its slogans and the attractiveness of its tools, but its results are no less dangerous than the results of using military force and tools of economic pressure.

It did not only lead to a change in the political system, but its changes included the social reality with the inputs it created in the lives of societies that were not previously known.

Changes based on stimulating sectarian and ethnic loyalties and based on the interests of a particular group without another.

The first axis dealt with ISIS being the most prominent extremist takfiri movements and its inhuman practices that it carried out in Iraq and the countries in which it tried to spread its organization.

This axis included its concept and linguistic and idiomatic meaning as well as the 'how to start and train'.

As for the second axis: it deals with the most prominent methods used to suppress the organization, which is the soft power and its role in the struggle with the organization.
