Dr. David Ucko | The Insurgent's Dilemma explores three particularly adaptive strategies and their implications for response.

There are options for response, but fresh thinking is urgently needed-about society, legitimacy and political violence itself.

Dr. Peter Thompson | In this age of asymmetric warfare, battles are fought more and more against armed groups of opponents such as terrorists, insurgents, or transnational criminal organizations.

Dr. Thomas Marks | Insurgency is a political campaign to mobilize the disaffected and the dispossessed into an alternative society.

Dr. Thomas Marks | Insurgency-the use of protracted low intensity violence and political warfare against a government―has been one of the most pervasive and strategically significant forms of asymmetric conflict for the past century.
