Synopsis

Using case studies spanning the post-Cold War period in Iraq, Moldova and Serbia, this book breaks new ground in its study of asymmetric conflicts where warring sides exhibit vast power differentials. Analysing both offensive and defensive wars, it considers the multiple pathways that encourage minor powers to engage in asymmetric disputes and provides an important framework for understanding contemporary conflicts  elsewhere.
