Through the examination of different themes and subjects the book
provides an in depth analysis of the concept of deterrence and its
utility in dealing effectively with current threats. Although the
concept of deterrence precedes the Cold War, in modern times and in
its traditional form deterrence is seen as the product of the Cold
War, which transformed 'narrow' deterrence approaches into
widespread orthodoxy. Increasingly however emerging threats and
challenges call into question the traditional concept of
deterrence. There are many elements that challenge the concept of
deterrence and its effectiveness. For instance it is not just that
the concept can be ambiguous and broad, but also there have to be a
number of conditions for it to be successfully implemented. This
collection contributes to a growing field of research in a
relatively under-studied area of interrogating the concept of
deterrence itself through a multi-disciplinary approach. Through
the use of primary and secondary sources, as well as interviews,
this book covers a wide range of disciplinary approaches on
deterrence and the contributors cover a broad array of subjects.
The research assembled here focuses on deterring extremism,
conflict resolution and diplomacy, investigating technological
developments, effects of globalisation, social movements,
economics, the relationship of resilience to effective deterrence,
and the associated complexity of contemporary interdependencies to
create a contextualised concept of modern deterrence. Social
science and historical methodologies are utilized to gain a
comprehensive cross-section of analysis that will reveal the
strengths and weaknesses of the use of deterrence as a national
security strategy, as well as highlighting the various types of
power available for use by the state to create multi-faceted
deterrence in order to deal effectively and efficiently with
complex emerging challenges.
