The future of ISIS:   a joint US-Russian assessment/

 -  2015 
<br/><br/> Over the past two years there have been many academic analyses and intelligence assessments regarding the rise of ISIS and its apparent success. Interpretations have varied, in some cases quite significantly. Some researches have attributed responsibility to Washington, while others have seen al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) as the driving force behind the emergence and growth of ISIS. the overall fallout of these varying views is that it is a far more difficult and complex process to comprehend what caused the emergence of ISIS in 2006 and its claims to be a state.
