Lecture Overview:

The 21st century has ushered in a multipolar global landscape with various influential powers, creating a more intricate web of relationships and dynamics that necessitate a nuanced approach to deterrence. Strategic deterrence in the 21st century is a dynamic and evolving discipline. It refers to using all elements of national power to dissuade adversaries from taking hostile actions by convincing them that the costs and risks of such actions outweigh any potential benefits. American views on strategic deterrence in the 21st century encompass a comprehensive approach combining nuclear and non-nuclear elements, technological superiority, diplomacy, and a commitment to protecting national and allied interests. The evolving security environment necessitates a flexible and adaptive approach to deterrence that addresses a wide range of threats and challenges.
