NSRI IRAD 2021 update — multi-actor deterrence analysis methodology and laboratory

How do we understand and adapt deterrence to emerging security challenges that arise from a complex system of integrated, interacting and rapidly evolving challenges? In her NATO-funded project through NSRI, Dr. Michelle Black tested and began the validation of a multi-actor deterrence framework that helps answer this question. Now, an NSRI IRAD team of researchers from the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) is exploring how to convert the methodology into a unique deterrence laboratory.
