Abstract
In a decision-making environment related to risk, there are four basic circumstances, namely certainty, risk, uncertainty and conflict. The dynamics of the strategic environment in Southeast Asia cannot be separated from the movement of the development of the Islamic State (IS). The terror threat in Southeast Asia is currently divided into different generations of terror, namely the threat of the Al-Qaeda terror network and the threat of the ISIS terror network. This study aims to analyze and identify the risk value of the development of the Islamic State network in Southeast Asia using the Borda and TOPSIS methods. The Borda method is used to give weight to the criteria related to risk analysis. The TOPSIS method is used to provide a criteria-based risk score. This research is limited to the Southeast Asia region with 4 (four) major countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. This research is expected to contribute to control the development of Islamic state networks in the Southeast Asian region. Based on the results of the overall risk analysis, it was found that the Philippines has the highest risk factor value for Islamic State (IS) with a value of 0.550 at level 4 in the High category. Indonesia maintains a risk factor value of 0.307. Thailand has a risk factor value of 0.427. Indonesia and Thailand are at level 3 with the Medium category. Meanwhile, Malaysia has a risk factor value of 0.203 at level 2 in the Low category.

Summary
BORDA is a method used to rank preferential decisions. The BORDA method is used in group decision making to rank candidates based on the choices of each decision-maker. TOPSIS is a multicriteria decision-making method or choice which is based on the iodea of choosing an alternative that has the smallest distance from the positive ideal solution and the largest distance from the negative ideal solution in terms of a geometric point of view using the Euclidean distance (Norouzi & Namin, 2019). This method is widely used for decision making that has many multicriteria or criteria (Wang & Duan, 2019). Both methods are part of the multicriteria decision making in the MCDM method (Alencar et al, 2010)
