Baltic States and Poland Track 2 Deterrence and Strategic Stability Dialogue and Study
Abstract
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and its International Security Program (ISP) propose to promote shared understanding of the deterrence challenges that face frontline states on NATO’s eastern border with the Russian Federation, and the implications of military posture and security matters in that geography for overall strategic stability between the United States and NATO, and Russia. The project will focus on forward-deployed non-strategic nuclear weapons, “gray zone” conflicts, and the importance of energy and economic markets to crisis stability. It will enhance scholarship on the emerging challenges faced in light of the Ukraine crisis, and provide shared knowledge to enhance public discussion of the evolving nature and future of security and defense relations between the United States, the Baltic States and Poland, including extended deterrence. The dialogue and study will include a study team research trip to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia (mid-April 2015) as well as a meeting in Washington, D.C. (July 2015) of American, Polish, and Baltic experts to review and discuss the study’s emerging findings and recommendations. The project will be led by Clark Murdock, Senior Adviser at CSIS, and Stephanie Sanok Kostro, Senior Fellow at CSIS. Additional key personnel include Kathleen Hicks, Senior Vice President and Director of the International Security Program at CSIS, Heather Conley, Senior Vice President and Director of the Europe Program at CSIS, and Paul Schwartz, Senior Associate in the Russia and Eurasia Program at CSIS.
