FROM REASSURANCE TO DETERRANCE. AN ADAPTATION OR A DIFFERENT PARADIGM?

Summary/Abstract: Military actions undertaken by Russia during the last years, starting with Georgia and continuing with Ukraine, doubled by a bellicose rhetoric against NATO and US have reinforced the belief that this represents a challenge and a real threat for the ally’s Eastern flank. Although this is not a confrontation typical for a cold war or, much less a major and classic military conflict, the current investments in the armed forces, the exercises and the military maneuvers, together with positioning additional forces on both sides of the NATO Eastern flank, confirm that we are more likely moving towards an attitude of deterrence to potential adversary rather than an „area defense” approach.
