Abstract
The growth of the extremist group in West Asia indicates a new development in regional relations and regional security equations. The formation of ISIS and its expansion in various dimensions show that regional security issues have moved out of their traditional and intergovernmental state and have taken on a sub-governmental and supra-governmental scope. Apart from this issue, in looking at the phenomenon of ISIL and regional developments, we see ISIL taking advantage of the process of globalization in the formation of regions and the absorption of trans-regional forces. In addition to the propaganda aspect, this process also includes ideological and self-awareness dimensions. The purpose of this study is to investigate and demonstrate the evolution of security issues resulting from the spread of terrorist groups. The main question of the research is what effects and consequences have occurred in the security issues of the West Asian region due to the formation of ISIL in the process of globalization. The research hypothesis indicates that the formation and independence of the ISIL group due to the process of globalization has led to the transformation of inter-governmental security issues into trans-state threats in the West Asian region. This study, using a descriptive-analytical method along with the use of authentic documents and texts, indicates that ISIL, by using the developments in the field of communication technology and the ideological effects of globalization, causes a change in regional security issues towards the formation of case groups. It has become sub-governmental and extra-governmental and the role of governments has been reduced.
