| Video Discription | The rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Al Sham (ISIS) challenges Al Qaeda and its dominance of the global jihadist movement. While ISIS had its origin as an affiliate of Al Qaeda, the two groups differ substantially in their goals, leadership structures and operational capabilities. The advent of social media and its immense popularity has contributed to the strengthening of these groups, as they now use this sphere to recruit, fund-raise and spread their propaganda - to great effect. The recent large-scale attacks on the West have returned global attention to these groups, and politicians have used the opportunity to spread fear and further their own political agendas. As such, it is extremely important to understand these groups and the threats that they pose, to differentiate between politicians' talking points and facts. Anurag Chandran is a senior majoring in political science and economics at MU, with a vested interest in international security issues. He has held internships in the United States Senate as well as a foreign policy think tank in Washington, D.C., where he researched security threats in the Middle East and South Asia. His research on al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) has been published and is currently one of the most comprehensive reports about the group. Anurag is a 2017 Schwarzman Scholar and will pursue a Master's in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University, where he plans to research China's counter-terrorism policies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx |
