"ISIS" is a terrorist organization in the Middle East, especially in Iraq and Syria. This organization since 2013, has gained a lot of success in the military arena and thousands from around the world to serve its own ends. The nature and evolution of the era of globalization, including terrorism, has economic, political and security aspects. So, the explanation of these evolutions needs to understand the links between components of economic, political and security and their interaction at all levels of local, regional and international. This explanation is possible by the use of international political economy approach. We will try to answer the question of how the interactions in international and regional security, economic and political factors have caused the rise of ISIS and its developments in the Middle East. In this article, we will discuss the effect of political and military structures of regional security and political and economic underdevelopment of the region on the formation of ISIS. Also, we will review some financial policies supporting this organization from some countries, especially USA and Saudi Arabia. In addition, we will examine, in the framework of international political economy approach, the military and security aspects of the Middle East and its relationship with the formation and function of ISIS.
