Great Powers, Small Wars: Asymmetric Conflict

This excerpt from Larisa Deriglazova's "Great Powers, Small Wars" analyzes asymmetric conflicts since 1945, particularly focusing on political defeats of major powers against weaker adversaries. The text examines the dissolution of the British Empire and the US war in Iraq as case studies, exploring the reasons behind these outcomes despite the superior military strength of the great powers involved. It considers military, political, economic, and international factors contributing to these defeats, including the erosion of political will, domestic pressures, and the influence of public opinion. Furthermore, the source discusses the concept of asymmetric conflict, surveys existing research, and identifies key characteristics and data sets used in its study.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Great-Powers-Small-Wars-Asymmetric/dp/1421414120?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=6269b89d35275362be3d33715c83802c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
