Leo Michel and Matti Pesu write that the post-Cold War era may have initially been characterized by optimism, but geopolitical competition now dominates once more. What might this mean for deterrence, and nuclear deterrence in particular? To find out, Michel and Pesu look at 1) the basic principles of deterrence; 2) the nuclear-related policies and capabilities of the four nuclear weapon states most directly involved in European security affairs – Russia, the US, France and the UK; 3) what recent trends in strategic deterrence mean for Northern Europe, and more.
