deterrence theory  

Définition(s)

  • Deterrence theory in international relations concerns the conditions under which a state i is able to prevent another state j from attacking i by convincing j that it runs the risk that this attack will be answered by a retaliatory strike that will inflict catastrophic damage. The theory has primarily been developed by U.S. strategic thinkers—most notably Bernard Brodie, Albert Wohlstetter, and Thomas Schelling—since the 1940s against the background of the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, which lasted until the end of the 1980s.
