Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. 1. In this concise and penetrating study Roger Barnett illuminates the effect of operational organizational legal and moral constraints on the ability of the US to use military force As the tragic events of September 11 demonstrated potential adversaries can take advantage of these limitations thus spawning asymmetrical warfare Barnett defines asymmetrical warfare as not simply a case of pitting ones strength against anothers weakness but rather of taking the calculated risk to exploit an adversarys inability or unwillingness to prevent or defend against certain actions For instance launching chemical biological or suicide attacks taking indiscriminate actions against critical infrastructure using hostages or human shields deliberately destroying the environment and targeting noncombatants all constitute possible asymmetrical warfare scenarios Against these acts the US has not prepared any response in kind Indeed it either cannot or will not undertake such responses thus making these attacks especially difficult to counter This refusal to retaliate in an eye for an eye fashion complicates the dilemma of American policymakers who seek to wield power and influence on the world stage while simultaneously projecting a peaceful and benign image Barnett concludes that the US must create a formal system of selectively eliminating the constraints that dictate our response to certain situations or scenarios Failure to make such changes will only increase paralysis and when the use of force is required contribute to the already heightened risks.
