Margaret Kosal, an associate professor in the Ivan Allen College Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, participated in a conference on “Reassessing Deterrence in the 21st Century” that was sponsored by West Point Modern War Institute and held at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point from November 13 - 15, 2016.
The purpose of the conference was to gather the world’s preeminent thought leaders to discuss and debate the role of strategic deterrence in modern warfare. Topics discussed include the challenge of deterring non-state enemies on the cyber battlefield; the viability of NATO and other 20th century alliances to deter; and domestic political challenges – from defense budgeting to strained civil-military relations – to deterring potential adversaries.
