ISIS and the Shift in Terrorism Movement in Indonesia (2014-2018)

The diminishing power of ISIS in Iraq and Syria does not necessarily reduce the intensity of global terrorist. Instead, it poses another threat to other countries with the return of the ISIS militant FTFs who will act in their respective countries. Acts of terrorism in Indonesia since 2014-2018 have been heavily influenced by organizations affiliated with ISIS or ISIS sympathizers. Despite being relatively smaller in terms of scale and casualties, the act of terrorism is demanding and intense. In this period, acts of terror differed from the previous period, both in terms of targets, patterns of movement, motivation, and the actors involved. Therefore, the aim of this research is to find out whether there has been a shift in orientation of terrorism movement in Indonesia in 2014-2018. The theory used is The Lone Wolf Terrorism. This research is explanative with observation method, interview and field documentation on former terrorist used as primary data, supported by secondary data in the form of literature study. The results obtained from this study indicate that there has been a shift in the orientation of terrorism movement in Indonesia in a number of aspects, namely the shifting pattern of movement due to the emergence of lone wolf terrorism, the shift in motivation due to the concept of takfiri and the purpose of establishment Daulah Islamiyah by ISIS, shift in recruitment method from conventional to modern as well as actors involving teenagers, women and children.
