Abstract

The purpose of the present research is to study the feasibility of the survival of ISIS and Takfiri groups as well as their continuance in the future world. In this regard, the present study aims to analyze the likelihood of presence and role of recent Jihadi movements in the future world. The research study is conducted by Foucauldian discourse methodology, in a holistic method and with regard to Foucault’s theory of discourse. This article studied Jihadi groups specially their salient representative, that is to say ISIS, an identity-centered discourse from the perspective of postmodernism in the realm of international policy. This significant subject is analyzed as a subcategory of the important concept of postmodernism and international studies as an option to explain the presence and role of new entities in international relations. Therefore, the ideas of the outstanding postmodern scholars as well as the feasibility of their application in international diplomacy were discussed. The research relies on the hypothesis that the Jihadi groups will continue their effective presence in the form of scattered but coherent organizations and will have an impact in the regional order.
