Abstract

The Marawi war in early 2017 became the most explicit evidence of ISIS terrorist group existence in Southeast Asia. The region is predicted to be their new territory for expansion under the leadership of Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi, even more after their lost at many territories in the Middle East. The Southeast Asia countries immediately generate preventive actions by strengthening the territorial security cooperation. This paper examines how Southeast Asia has great possibility to be the new destination for ISIS to invade and how the countries in Southeast Asia deal the threat. It is assumed that ISIS as part of global terrorism is trying to widen their expansion to Southeast Asia and how the countries in Southeast Asia rise up cooperation among them to prevent and resist from the ISIS expansion.
