Terrorist groups are also becoming major players. Currently, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is a major international actor. It is a terrorist organization capable of taking control of the state within its own borders and enforcing its own law. It recruits extremists from around the world and carries out terrorist acts in other countries. When organizations like ISIS can gain so much power and control and pose such a threat to sovereign nations, the state can no longer claim to be the sole major player in international relations. The Islamic State is not the only terrorist organization that can boast of being a major international actor, there is also Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and Hamas. All these organizations are major international players and have a considerable impact on the international scene.
