Summary / Abstract (Note)How valuable might deterrence be for managing current and near-future threats to international peace and security? How might it work in such contexts? In 2010 a symposium was held at King's College London in order to address these questions. The participants examined a wide range of issues. A prominent concern was the extent to which the Cold War theory and practice of deterrence remains a valuable stock of relevant experience today. Specific attention was also given to the utility of conventional force as a deterrent, to the prospects for cyber deterrence, and to the feasibility of deterring non-state actors such as terrorist organizations. The participants all considered that deterrence has some role to play in Western strategy and sought to clarify what this might amount to under the specific conditions they examined.
