Throughout history, Great Powers have devised balancing strategies aimed at checking the ambitions of rival Great Powers. To do that, they have sought to enter and mobilize alliances and security partnerships with secondary states. Yet, the influence of secondary states on the balancing strategies of Great Powers remains largely underestimated in t...
The demise of the INF Treaty in 2019 raises questions about the future of deterrence in Europe. For more than a decade, Russia has sought to leverage the potential of precision-strike technologies to strengthen its missile arsenal, having developed systems that either violated INF range regulations or were just below the threshold. As the terminati...
Much ink has been spilled on Russia's alleged anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) strategy in the Baltic region. 282 According to many observers of Baltic security, Russia has acquired in the last two decades a sophisticated suite of missile capabilities that it now deploys in the exclave of Kaliningrad and its Western Military District. These missiles...
Most debates on U.S. military strategy in the Western Pacific revolve around the question of how to deter China. Advocates of deterrence by punishment believe that the Chinese threat is serious but not critical, because the United States can leverage its global military-technological advantages to preserve a position of regional military primacy. T...
Scholars and pundits alike continue to portray the U.S.-led regional alliance systems in Europe and East Asia in stark, dichotomous terms. Whereas the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the standard model of multilateralism, the U.S.-led system of bilateral alliances in East Asia is the archetypal ‘hub-and-spokes’ structure in which different al...

... Nothing in isolationism can potentially be achieved. Many Pakistani strategists might suggest that Pakistan would need to keep a balancing strategy (overt or covert) with all the leading maritime powers including rising China to promote peace, strategic stability, and cooperation, and more importantly for chalking out regional connectivity that the CPEC primarily aims at when it comes to its centrality in the perceived evolving landscape of the Indo-Pacific region (Meijer and Simon, 2021). For example, when it comes to an "overt and/or covert" balancing strategy, Pakistan may have a certain combination of balancing strategies. ...
... Almost everywhere this mention goes at the level of separate theses within the framework of articles devoted to more general issues. For example, within the framework of relations between the US and allies in Europe (Früling, 2016;Kühn, 2018), prospects for deploying intermediaterange missiles (Kühn, 2019;Simon, Lanoszka, 2020), Russian long-range high-precision weapons (Johnson, 2017), and the escalate-to-de-escalate doctrine (Kort et al., 2019;Anderson, McCue, 2021;Kroenig, 2018;Kofman, Fink, Edmonds, 2020). There are practically no studies specifically devoted to analysis of the factor of regional missile defense in the context of the actions of the United States and NATO aimed at regional deterrence of Russia in Europe. ...

... For instance, the newly announced Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA) initiativeostensibly aimed at illegal fishingwill effectively track China's military and para-military assets at sea (FNN 2022). Along these very lines, the US government's military approach towards the rise of China has distinctively prioritised deterrence and slowly allowed allies, such as Japan, to embrace deterrence by denial and punishment (Simón 2021). ...
... Отношения с союзниками также говорят о консолидации и конвергенции общих интересов. Создание военно-технологического блока Австралии, Великобритании и США AUKUS в октябре 2021 года, хоть и являющееся логическим развитием военно-политических отношений Соединённых Штатов и Австралии на протяжении XXI века [Щербунов 2021], продолжает процесс консолидации системы союзов, а фактически способствует их переходу от системы «оси и спиц», завязанной на США, на «федеративную» , или «узловую», оборону [Simón, Lanoszka, Meijer 2021]. В данной системе Вашингтон отводит Австралии, Японии и Индии роль узлов в рамках возродившегося форума Четырёхсторонний диалог по безопасности (QUAD) [Худайкулова, Рамич 2020], вокруг которых будет происходить военно-политическая консолидация антикитайских усилий. ...
