In: Contemporary Security Policy : Vol. 41, No 3, July 2020, pp. 385-406 (104)Summary: The article examines why containing the Islamic State was successful in the past. Second, the article argues that the Islamic State can still be contained if containment addresses the Islamic State's hybrid nature rather than convulsively looking for the transferability of past containment aspects.
