With respect to asymmetrical war, there are two main theories: A) the theory of asymmetry of interests; it means that powerful actors have little interest and motivation for conquest because their existence is not in danger whereas weak actors own more interest and motivation for victory since it is the victory that ensures their existence. B) The theory of strategic interactions; according to this theory, every strategy has a desirable anti-strategy. Thus, those actors who can anticipate enemy's strategy are able to increase the probability of success considerably through selection and conduction of appropriate anti-strategy.
