Yet underlying these debates is one crucial shared assumption: that states and nonstate actors fight very differently. Biddle upturns this distinction in How Nonstate Actors Fight, examining actual military methods to show that many nonstate actors now fight more "conventionally" than many states. Rather than a dichotomy, Biddle frames nonstate and state methods along a continuum and presents a systematic theory to explain any given nonstate actor's position on this spectrum. His theory emphasizes how actors' internal politics - especially their institutional maturity and war aims - determine their military choices. In doing so, Biddle bridges to largely opposing groups of scholarship: materialists who assume that material and structural constraints will lead nonstates to prefer irregular warfare, and culturalists who see nonstate warmaking as connected to social norms. Biddle integrates both materialist and cultural considerations into this theory, but emphasizes internal politics as the chief determinant of how any actor will fight. The first four chapters present Biddle's theory, and the next five test is across a range of historical examples, from Lebanon to Iraq to Somalia to Croatia to the Vietcong"--Provided by publisher.Asymmetric warfareCase studiesAdmiral Jonathan Howe.Andrea Dew.Croatian Wars of Independence.Fabian.HV.Hezbollah.Insurgents, Terrorists and Militias.JAM.Jaish al-Mahdi.Militias.Napoleonic.SNA.SVK.Second Indochina War.Seth Jones.Somali National Alliance.Stathis Kalyvas.The Logic of Violence in Civil Warfare.Waging Insurgent Warfare.ZNG.asymmetric.collective action dilemmas.guerillas.internal political determinants.intrastate.material incentives.material inferiority.materialist theories.midspectrum warfare.specialist subunits.tribal culture.warfighting.warlords.Asymmetric warfare355.42Biddle Stephen D.1219681Council on Foreign Relations.MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910554241103321Nonstate warfare2820128UNINA03097nam 2200637 a 450 991101962130332120251116170459.01-282-54797-697866125479730-470-63989-X1-118-26933-00-470-63991-1(CKB)2670000000009606(EBL)487686(OCoLC)607553799(SSID)ssj0000357354(PQKBManifestationID)11238943(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000357354(PQKBWorkID)10352156(PQKB)10193156(MiAaPQ)EBC487686(EXLCZ)99267000000000960620090420d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBreakthroughs in literacyteacher success stories and strategies, grades K-8 /Susan E.
