For the United States, asymmetric warfare has emerged as the 'new normal'. The large-scale conventional campaigns that typified U.S. military engagements for much of the twentieth century are increasingly things of the past. Instead, the quarter-century since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the U.S.-Soviet balance of power has seen irregular war truly come of age, with more and more hostile nations pursuing asymmetric means in order to secure the strategic advantage vis-a-vis the United States. In this volume, a group of leading national security practitioners and subject matter experts come together to analyze the asymmetric strategies being pursued today by the United States' main state-based adversaries - Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea - and the explore how U.S. policymakers can respond more effectively to them.

In a sophisticated combination of quantitative research and two in-depth case studies, the author first surveys armed conflicts since World War II in which one opponent is much stronger than the other. She then focuses on the experiences of Britain's decolonization after World War II and the United States' Iraq war beginning in 2003. The survey employs several large databases to identify basic characteristics and variables of wars between enemies of disproportionate power. The case studies focus on the economics, domestic politics, and international factors that ultimately shaped military events more than military capacity and strategy.
