| Abstract/Notes | In the closing years of the 20 century , two competing strategic paradigms emerged from the united states and people's Republic of China. the Asymmetric Warefare' (US) and 'Unrestricted Warfare (PRC) paradigms were both hailed as the new doctrine of warfare required to meet the challenges of the 21 century. Although the names of these two paradigms allude to a similar doctrine, they in fact differ at the most fundamental levels of cultural assumptions and cultural perspectives. The respective paradigms are deeply rooted in each culture's philosophic roots and the way each views strategic and state affairs. the American Asymmetric warfare paradigm is centered on the complete battlespace dominance by a potent US Military, based on modern RMA technologies. It is a paradigm firmly based on the scientific and rationalist western way of war. the Chinese Unrestricted warfare paradigm reflects the holistic and abstract Chinese view of satecraft. Its premise is that in the interdependent and globalised post Cold War World the nature of warfare in the 21 century has evolved beyond that of the traditional paradigms of military confontation. Warfare has evolved to encompass all aspects of state affairs including national economies national infrastructure and public opinion where the combatants include statesmen scientists, economists, consumers, voters and the media. International trends in the years around the turn of century lend great gravity to this paradigm. In the 21 Century the real Revolution in Military Affairs will be the ability to transcend one's own cultural pradigms and to view the adversary through his own cultural norms and assumtions. |
