The authors of these essays examine the transferability of cold war deterrence theories to the New World Order. Robert Haffa develops a detailed theory of conventional deterrence and George Quester examines the lessons of conventional deterrence before the cold war. Haffa looks to the future, Quester to the lessons of history before Hiroshima. Together, these studies conclude that conventional deterrence theories and strategies of the past were severely undermined by their subordination to a bipolar strategic nuclear competition. Conditions now exist, the authors argue, for a coherent concept of general, extended conventional deterrence.
