Abstract
The evolutionary mechanism proposed above as an explanation for the dynamics of asymmetric territorial conflicts reflects a general phenomenon which is relevant to a very broad array of contexts. In particular, there are grounds for viewing it as a key component of power transitions, which underlie both the rise and fall of states and empires and are related to the eruption of major, system-wide wars.
