Description

For decades, the rational actor model served as the primary guide for U.S. deterrence policy. While this model has been a convenient and comforting tool, it often relies on broad generalizations about how deterrence works. By postulating common decision-making parameters across the globe, it attempts to predict which types of forces will be stabilizing or destabilizing. Understanding Deterrence explores the limitations of this traditional approach. The book examines how the rational actor model requires little detailed knowledge of an opponent's unique decision-making process, yet often overlooks the broad spectrum of unique factors that can influence outcomes. This text provides a deep look into the complexities of deterrence theory and the realities of international policy. This Routledge publication is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in military history and strategic studies. It challenges long-held assumptions about how states interact and provides a necessary perspective on the factors that shape global stability.
