Norway, deterrence, reassurance and strategic stability in Europe.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has placed stability in Europe under severe strain. This special issue explores Norway's policy of balancing deterrence and reassurance of Moscow and the deterrent interaction between NATO and Russia to produce insights into how NATO states can craft a more stable Europe. It emphasizes how new technologies and capabilities reshape the landscape of strategic stability. Although the prospects for a more stable European continent seem dim with Moscow as an unwilling partner, calibrating deterrence and reassurance has proven adaptable and will likely remain important in Norway's and potentially NATO's future efforts to mitigate the security dilemma.
