Elements of deterrence: strategy, technology, and complexity in global politics/ Erik Gartzke and Jon R. Lindsay. - New York: Oxford University Press, 2024. - xxii, 466P.: ill; 24cm.

Global politics in the twenty-first century is complicated by dense economic interdependence, rapid technological innovation, and fierce security competition. How should governments formulate grand strategy in this complex environment? Many strategists look to deterrence as the answer, but how much can we expect of deterrence? Classical deterrence theory developed in response to the nuclear threats of the Cold War, but strategists since have applied it to a variety of threats in the land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains
