The Nuclear Posture Review and deterrence for a new age

Article Abstract:

A new world order seemed to have come up with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the success of the international coalition against Saddam Hussein in 1991. The Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) indicates that nuclear weapons are essential to deter aggressions willing to take extraordinary risks and include great costs but they are not suited to many of the contingencies for which one has to be prepared in the 21st century.

The fallacies of Cold War deterrence and a new direction

Article Abstract:

The limitations of the United States deterrence policy for the post-Cold War era are discussed. A methodology for tailoring deterrence policies to specific antagonists and contexts is developed to 'get inside' the decision-making process of the challenger and to ascertain as far as possible the basis for its decision-making with regard to a specific context and flashpoint.

The continuing roles for U.S. strategic forces

Article Abstract:

The need for an effective deterrence strategy in view of the new terrorist threats, weapons of mass destruction and missile technology is stressed. Deterrence now is primarily one of intelligence and newer methods of deterrence need to be adopted while the earlier ones based on nuclear forces and a mutual balance of terror must be reconsidered.
