Dissuading nuclear adversaries: The strategic concept of dissuasion and the U.S. nuclear arsenal
Article Abstract:
The strategic concept of dissuasion by defining it as the active constraint of rationally beneficial options available to a current or potential geopolitical rival in order to preserve the national interests or goals of the US or its allies is studied. Dissuasion is refined through analyses of historical case studies, the current security environment and future scenarios and by identifying three operational types: global, regional, and tactical.
