This article discusses some of the existing theories around the Modern Warfare phenomena in International System frame under a neo-realistic outlook, looking for characterizing singularities typical to the appearance of the Asymmetric Warfare concept and its use by the authors without power resources in traditional terms. Roughly speaking, the qualifying of Asymmetric is applied to the post-Cold War violent conflicts in which the strategic stature of some of the parts is meaningfully less in comparison to their opponent’s, so that the inferior, with the goal of not being defeated in conventional terms, uses methods, weapons, doctrine, and even non-conventional ethic norms, to carry out its warfare acts, which from Westfalia had been analyzed in function of the traditional actors of the International System and political-strategic conceptions of the trinity war of Clausewitz, and the revolutionary warfare of dialectical Marxist trend in its different shades. Revolutionary Warfare Strategies of dialectical-Marxist trend are considered among others: the Combination of all forms of Fight of Lenin, The Popular Prolonged War of Mao, the Defense of a lonely Country of Stalin, even the Focalism Revolutionary Model of Castro and Guevara.
