Until recently, the United States has been the only state successfully pursuing
ballistic missile defense (BMD) capabilities. However, Russia, China, and India
have made strides toward their own strategic BMD systems, opening up a range of
understudied questions. This research will improve scholarly and public
understanding of the implications of a multi-polar strategic ballistic missile defense
world. The project will investigate the strategic landscape and dynamics of a multipolar
strategic ballistic missile defense world in order to understand the potential
impact of such a world on offense-defense dynamics, countermeasures, regional
stability, cross-domain deterrence, alliance planning, and global arms control
efforts.
