Defined as a form of warfare that differs significantly from traditional conflict, asymmetric warfare is a tool of weaker and less resourced non state actors who seek parity with state's military power. Non state actors resort to asymmetric warfare to offset their obvious lack of conventional military power base and capacity. Moreover, signs and methods of asymmetric warfare are found in all facets of unconventional warfare - terrorism, insurgency, revolution, guerilla war, and irregular war - throughout history.
