Reappraising Extended Deterrence
"Extended Deterrence in Europe and East Asia during the Cold War", a new special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies, features six articles by NPIHP's researchers and an introduction by the project's co-directors.
How should the US manage its alliances? Should the US establish a multilateral nuclear policy dialogue in Asia? What capabilities might reassure European allies in light of current Russian revisionism? Do nuclear weapons strengthen these alliances, or do they introduce a divisive bone of contention?
In a new special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies, "Extended Deterrence in Europe and East Asia during the Cold War," NPIHP’s researchers explore five cases of US extended deterrence during the Cold War. As changing security environments in Europe and Asia force the United States to reassess the nature and scope of its deterrence commitments, the history of US nuclear alliances offers many lessons.
The new issue is available online at the Taylor & Francis website and contains the following articles:
