Achieving Nuclear Deterrence in the 21st Century
Abstract
The project will examine how to achieve stable nuclear deterrence against both state and non-state actors in the 21st century. The elements of deterrence will be examined, and the application of these elements against both state and non-state actors will be examined. The rules of nuclear deterrence that operated during the Cold War will be examined to determine if the rules have changed, and if so, what the new rules are and how they influence rogue states, non-state actors, and traditional nuclear states.
