World Security and the Logic of Deterrence in Contemporary International Politics

Author(s) Dr. Pallav Mithal
Country India
Abstract This article examines the evolving role of deterrence in contemporary international politics, tracing its foundations in Cold War-era theories by scholars like Brodie, Schelling, and Kahn, and expanding its relevance to the 21st-century strategic landscape. Deterrence now encompasses not only nuclear threats but also conventional, cyber, space, and hybrid domains. The article analyses various forms of deterrence—by punishment, denial, and extended deterrence—and assesses their applicability to current challenges such as cyber warfare, terrorism, and great power competition. Through case studies including the U.S.-Soviet rivalry, India-Pakistan relations, and China’s Indo-Pacific posture, the article illustrates deterrence in practice. It highlights emerging threats from technological advances, non-state actors, and the erosion of arms control frameworks. Ultimately, the study argues for a multidimensional, adaptive deterrence strategy that integrates military capabilities, technological innovation, and diplomatic credibility to manage conflict and maintain global security in an increasingly complex and multipolar world.
