TI - Extended deterrence and assurance in an emerging technology environment PY - 2021/// KW - ALLIANCES KW - EXTENDED DETERRENCE KW - DRONES KW - INTERNATIONAL STABILITY N2 - How do emerging technologies impact strategic stability in the international system? I focus on how one aspect of strategic stability, extended deterrence commitments inherent to alliances, may be impacted by the development of new technologies and capabilities. I ask how technological innovations will impact the market deterrence and assurance dynamics in particular. I argue that while technologies may enhance the ability to provide extended deterrence, allies may be less assured by these new capabilities. To test these hypotheses, I explore emerging capabilities in new domains such as drones and hypersonic glide vehicles on international stability UR - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01402390.2019.1621173 ER -
