Deterrence as a strategy and doctrine was effectively deployed by the United States during the Cold War. Today states face a widening range of destabilizing threats, in particular to critical infrastructure in space and cyberspace. “Cross domain deterrence” (CDD) seeks to counter threats in one arena (such as space or cyber warfare) by relying on different types of capabilities (such as sea power or nuclear weapons, or even non-military tools such as access to markets or normative regimes) where deterrence may be more effective. The increasing complexity of CDD presents an opportunity to rethink what we think we know about deterrence. This volume gathers together senior and junior scholars and experienced practitioners to discuss the theory and practice of CDD.
This book is part of a broader research project sponsored by the Department of Defense Minerva Initiative.
