About this report
The strategic priority concerns the credibility of nuclear deterrence under conditions of renewed revisionist coercion, accelerated technological contestation, and a demonstrable expansion of pathways to escalation that do not rely on conventional force-on-force engagements.
In the Euro-Atlantic environment, the central political premise remains that nuclear deterrence is a political function designed to preserve peace, prevent coercion and deter aggression, with use characterised as an extreme contingency.
