conventional deterrence  

Définition

  • Deterrence is a strategy by which one actor, such as a government or state, attempts to prevent another actor from taking a particular course of action. Deterrence has been most closely associated with so-called weapons of mass destruction: one state has threatened another state to deter that state from taking a particular course of action by threatening to inflict great damage as a consequence.
