Zusammenfassung:"Deterrence theory emerged early in the Cold War, as logicians and practitioners grappled with the new threat environment posed by nuclear weapons. Today, strategists and operators are confronting a novel set of technological challenges (cyberattacks, drones, space weapons, subversion), all in the context of a highly interdependent global economy. While policy makers aspire to integrate deterrence into a broader "whole of government" approach, deterrence is not a panacea for complexity. Elements of Deterrence presents detailed arguments and empirical evidence demonstrating that the practice of deterrence involves complex trade-offs between multiple political goals pursued via increasingly specialized military (and non-military) instruments. The result is a generalization of the standard deterrence framework and a more dynamic synthesis of venerable themes in deterrence theory."
