Deterrence In Foreign Policy | Model Diplomacy

Council on Foreign Relations Adjunct Senior Fellow for National Security Studies Richard Betts and Adjunct Senior Fellow for Defense Policy Stephen Biddle, define and explain the concept of deterrence for CFR Model Diplomacy’s “Iran Deal Breach” and other CFR Model Diplomacy case studies. Deterrence, which has long existed, became more explicit with the dawn of nuclear weapons, whose destructive power poses special problems. Betts and Biddle evaluate arguments about deterrence’s relevance today and discuss the evolving U.S. deterrence strategy toward Russia and China.
