This paper goal is to investigate the formation of ISIS in the Middle East and then appearing as a transnational actor in regional and international levels based on the post-international theory of Ferguson and Mansbach and by using descriptive method and data collection in documents and libraries. The findings show that identity and antinational factors are the main factors in the formation of ISIS. In fact the members of ISIS could define a new identity for “self”, “other”, “friend” and “enemy”. Mean while ISIS is an antinationalist group and its leaders consider nationalism in opposition with Islamic Ummah, that’s why this group succeeded in recruitment in many nationalities among most of the countries around the globe. These have made the ISIS a transnational actor in the global level threatening western liberal democracy values such as scientificism, secularism and democracy which are regarded obsolete by this group

Keywords: Pos-tinternational, Transnationalism, identity, ISIS, non-governmental actor
