Abstract
Objective: New questions arise daily concerning overall NATO alliance cohesion and
commitment in the face of Russian aggression. Understanding how deterrence and
crisis stability operate within conflict and how crisis actions may affect overall
strategic stability is vital to efforts to prevent or de-escalate future tensions,
particularly in NATO frontline states. CSIS will examine deterrence challenges that
face frontline states on NATO’s eastern border with Russia and the implications of
military posture and security matters in that geography for overall strategic stability
between the United States/NATO and Russia. This project will bring together
U.S., Polish, and Baltic experts to review and discuss topics such as forwarddeployed,
non-strategic nuclear weapons, “gray zone” conflicts, and the
importance of energy and economic markets to crisis stability. This project will
provide scholars with new knowledge on emerging deterrence challenges faced in
light of the Ukrainian crisis.
