The global security order is undergoing a period of profound transformation: great power competition is intensifying, emerging technologies are reshaping military capabilities at unprecedented speed, and existing arms control frameworks are steadily eroding. Against this backdrop, the logic of nuclear deterrence itself is increasingly being called into question.
The panel discussion “Deterrence in the 21st Century: Nuclear Strategy in an Age of Disruption” brings together leading experts from policy, academia, and practice to explore what nuclear deterrence can look like in today’s complex strategic environment.
The discussion will focus on how nuclear deterrence functions in a world of overlapping crises and rising uncertainty. It will examine the risks posed by emerging technologies such as cyber capabilities, artificial intelligence, and hypersonic weapons, the impact of great power rivalries on global stability, Europe’s role, and the prospects for arms control and risk reduction in today’s political environment.
The event offers a platform for in-depth analysis, critical questions, and an open debate on the challenges facing nuclear strategy in the 21st century.
