Title Proper | Russia’s Escalation Management and a Baltic Nuclear-Weapon Free Zone |
Language | ENG |
Author | Milevski, Lukas |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the idea of a Baltic Nuclear-Weapon Free Zone (NWFZ) in the context of the Russian Federation’s deterrence and escalation management theories, largely as enunciated by Russian military theorists. It first introduces the history of the Baltic NWFZ idea from the early 1960s to the present proposals, and then explores Russian escalation management. The author concludes by considering how Baltic NWFZ proposals may interact with—and be understood through—the Russian military’s perspective. |
