SUMMARY:ISRAEL'S WARS WITH HAMAS: THE DILEMMAS OF ASYMMETRIC CONFLICTS
DESCRIPTION:
 Yael Aronoff, associate professor, analyzes democracies 
 fighting asymmetric wars, as they attempt 
 to balance traditional military strategies 
 of deterrence with pressures for restraint. 
 Restraining factors include: mitigation of 
 further resentment by affected populations; 
 maintaining a political culture's self-identity 
 as a democracy upholding democratic norms 
 and international laws; and the importance of 
 winning media battles. Dr. Aronoff will examine 
 how international lawyers, military commanders 
 and non-governmental organizations have 
 come together to reach consensus on what the 
 restraints binding states in these wars should 
 be. \n\n
