This brief tracks the expansion of the war against the so-called Islamic State (IS), with a particular emphasis on Russia's recent involvement in Syria, the increased number of IS operations in the West, and the UK’ decision to participate in the anti-IS air war in Syria. However, while discussing these particular developments, the brief's author also places them within the broader context of the violent group's rise to prominence, which began at the start of 2014.
