Coalition Management and Escalation Control in a Multinuclear World
examines the impact of new technologies on twenty-first-century
crisis management and armed conflict, as well as the unprecedented
number and types of actors involved in current and potential
flash-points. The book's basic thesis is that new technologies are
changing how wars are fought and providing a broadening range of
escalation options. Cyber weapons and artificial intelligence, as
well as social media, blur traditional escalation thresholds with
important consequences for deterrence. Nuclear weapons possessors,
especially nations and powers new to their use, may have differing
strategies concerning how, when, why, or where such weapons should
be used either for purposes of deterrence or as actual warfighting
instruments. Today's global map differs drastically from all
previous eras, not only in the types and numbers of actors but also
in the level of lethality, as well as the range and accuracy of
weapons available with which to threaten or actually conduct
battle. A world of Great Power competition, together with non-state
armed groups contains risks for miscalculation including the
possibility of catalytic warfare.
