Deterrence Now Central, but Arms Control Must Not Be Forgotten

Original: Deterrence Is Now Key. But Don’t Forget About Arms Control

Foreign policy analysts argue that deterrence has returned to the centre of security thinking as geopolitical tensions rise, particularly around nuclear weapons. The warning accompanying this shift is that deterrence alone cannot manage nuclear risk: arms control agreements, verification mechanisms, and dialogue between rival nuclear powers remain essential tools to prevent escalation, and neglecting them could leave the world more dangerous despite stronger deterrence postures.

Why now: Growing nuclear rhetoric and the erosion of arms control agreements amid current geopolitical tensions have renewed debate over how to balance deterrence with arms control.
