Debate Grows Over Whether Deterrence Gaps Are Real or Imagined

Original: In the Eye of the Beholder: Deterrence Gaps, Real or Imagined?

A new commentary from the American Enterprise Institute examines whether perceived gaps in deterrence between major powers reflect genuine military weaknesses or misperceptions held by adversaries and analysts. The piece weighs how both real and imagined shortfalls can shape strategic decisions, arms programs and crisis behaviour. Security analysts are engaging with the question as tensions among nuclear-armed states keep deterrence credibility at the centre of policy debate.

Why now: Heightened geopolitical tensions have renewed scrutiny of whether nuclear and conventional deterrence postures are actually credible or merely perceived to be so.
