Asymmetric Deterrence

Asymmetric Deterrence is a strategic doctrine within the broader category of deterrence theory that specifically involves leveraging disproportionate or unconventional means—such as asymmetric capabilities, irregular tactics, or non-state actors—to dissuade an adversarial state or actor from taking specific actions, particularly when there exists a marked imbalance in conventional military power between the adversaries.
