Abstract
Deterrence theory helps conceptualize how threats can be used and communicated to influence or alter an adversary’s behavior. Deterrence by denial reduces the perceived benefits that an action is expected to provide an adversary. Unfortunately, given the field’s longstanding focus on deterrence by punishment, very little research has systematically explored denial theory and strategy in contemporary security settings. This book compiled by CSS director Andreas Wenger and Alex S. Wilner is the first study to focus exclusively on contemporary denial, bridging the theoretical gap that persists between classical deterrence theory and contemporary insecurity. The book significantly advances the scholarship on deterrence by denial with empirically driven and policy-relevant contributions written by leading international scholars of conventional military aggression, missile defense, terrorism and militancy, crime, and cybersecurity.
