Since the return of high-intensity warfare in Europe and the rise of strategic tensions in the Indo-Pacific, the issue of managing escalation between nuclear powers has taken center stage in U.S. strategic thinking and, to a lesser extent, in the European one.
While deterrence was long viewed primarily as a tool to prevent high-intensity war, a segment of the strategic community is now focusing on the concept of “intra-war deterrence”: the ability to limit escalation once a conflict has begun, particularly to prevent crossing the nuclear threshold. Its implementation requires a specific doctrine as well as capability adjustments within a complex context of multi-domain strategic competition, where conventional, nuclear, cyber, and space dimensions are increasingly intertwined.
Speaker:
John K. Warden, Senior Deterrence Analyst at the Center for Global Security Research (CGSR), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
Chair:
Héloïse Fayet, Head of the Deterrence & Proliferation Research Program, Ifri.
