DETERRENCE BY DENIAL AND RESILIENCE BUILDING

Pamment, James LU and Palmertz, Bjorn (2023) p.20-30

Deterrence and resilience are intimately connected. Deterrence is about understanding threats and using levers that might force an adversary to reconsider their objectives and actions against you. Resilience is about understanding yourself and the measures you can take to become a less attractive target, or to bounce back more quickly from a setback. This combination of deterrence and resilience has developed into one of the key emerging areas of 21st century security policy. Societal institutions are expected to perform a key role in deterring adversaries of all kinds, by building resilience and wielding a combination of denial and cost imposition strategies as a method of shaping collective security. However, the theories and practices governing such activities are still in their relative infancy. This chapter explores the contemporary application of deterrence theory upon hybrid threats and engages critically with some of the weakness and assumptions of the field.
