The dynamics of material asymmetry characterize wars involving the United States since World War II, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, and offer a framework for understanding the struggle against al Qaeda, ISIS, and the future of the War on Terrorism. Overall, this course aims to explore the strategies of both sides of an asymmetric conflict, especially the weaker actor. How do terrorists, insurgents, guerrillas, revolutionaries, and freedom fighters design strategies to achieve their goals against powerful states? More specifically, how do al Qaeda and ISIS hope to challenge the American-led international order? Knowing they’re outgunned, how do they try to win? Major restrictions will be lifted at 4pm on Friday, April 14, 2023. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman class standing.
