Practical information
These luncheons debates are exlusively dedicated to corporate members and individual benefactor members or Ifri. By personal invitation.
A luncheon-debate with Marc HECKER, research fellow at Ifri's Security Studies Center and the deputy editor of Politique étrangère.
The terrorist threat is particularly high in France. More than three thousand Westerners left for jihad in Syria and Iraq. Among them, the French are the most important part. In the past, French authorities faced other jihadist networks, but the phenomenon reaches today its higher point. We intend to examine its political and economic consequences as well as on the measures to be taken to stop it.

Le jihad en Syrie et en Irak: un défi pour la France
Le jihad en Syrie et en Irak a attiré environ 15 000 volontaires étrangers dont 3 000 occidentaux. Parmi ces derniers, de nombreux Français. Les chiffres fournis par le ministère de l’Intérieur en novembre 2014 sont impressionnants : 1132 résidents français étaient alors impliqués dans les filières jihadistes. 376 étaient présents en Syrie ou en Irak, plus de 300 étaient décidés à partir de France, 184 étaient en transit, 199 avaient quitté les zones de guerre (dont 109, de retour en France, avaient été mis en examen) et 49 étaient décédés.
