« NUCLEAR DETERRENCE Guarantee of or Threat to our Security »
With the increased tensions and re-apperance of war in Europe the term « nuclear deterrence » is heard more often in public discourse. The speakers will discuss whether it is realistic today to base the security of a country on the theory of deterrence. Is it possible to argue that the world has been spared a nuclear war since 1945 due to nuclear deterrence? Could nuclear deterrence fail and what would be the result of such a failure?
