The debates and policy decisions that play out over the next few years will likely affect America's nuclear deterrence and arms control strategies for decades to come.

Caroline Dorminey was a policy analyst in defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. She worked on issues pertaining to the US defense budget, defense politics, force structure, and the international arms trade. Eric Gomez is a policy analyst for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. His research focuses on U.S. military strategy in East Asia, missile defense systems and their impact on strategic stability, and nuclear deterrence issues in East Asia. He has presented research on these topics at annual meetings of the International Studies Association and the American Political Science Association, and the 2018 Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) Fall Conference. Eric is the co editor and an author, with Caroline Dorminey, of America's Nuclear Crossroads: A Forward Looking Anthology. As the United States adjusts to a changing global balance of power, nuclear deterrence is poised to return to a level of importance in U.S. national security not seen since the end of the Cold War. However, U.S. nuclear strategy will have to contend with emerging issues like arms control in a multipolar world, the evolution of strategic technology, and the new contours of great power competition. After more than a decade spent grappling with the challenges of irregular warfare and violent extremism, the U.S. national security community has largely shifted its collective attention to interstate power politics. Nuclear weapons figure prominently in this new reality. The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review prompted Americans to contemplate the use of nuclear weapons by either the United States or its potential adversaries in a future conflict in Europe or Asia. Even before the Trump administration gave voice to this shift, the United States had already embarked on a costly, long-delayed modernization of major elements of its nuclear arsenal. All three legs of the "triad" of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear-armed manned aircraft, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles will be updated. According to some observers, these developments reflect the emergence of a new Cold War. For others, the challenge is not how best to engage in "strategic competition, " but how to avoid backsliding into outmoded analogies and concepts. As with any debate, there are elements of truth on both sides. Russia and China have both shown themselves to have regional aspirations, and possibly global ambitions, that are at odds with the aims of U.S. foreign policy. Russia's annexation of Crimea was a turning point for many analysts within the U.S. national security community, demonstrating the Putin regime's willingness to engage in the almost antiquated practice of territorial conquest.
