Géopolitique: Le nouvel âge des conquêtes
Qu'est-ce qu'une guerre
Qui domine le monde
Géopolitique de l'espace
Mers et océans, des espaces sous tensions
Les frontières, baromètre des relations internationales
Où va la démographie mondiale
Will Europe Get Its Own Bomb
The idea of a European nuclear deterrent has been a regular feature of the security debate on the continent for more than 50 years, to the point of sometimes being called an “elephant in the room.”
Russia’s Nuclear Policy: Worrying for the Wrong Reasons
The Russian nuclear problem is real and serious – but it is political more than it is military
Huntington et le risque de la prophétie
On The Brink”—Really? Revisiting Nuclear Close Calls Since 1945
Why have nuclear weapons not been used since 1945? The more time passes, the more the question becomes relevant and even puzzling for pessimists. Most strategists of the 1960s would be stunned to h
The Thick Red Line: Implications of the 2013 Chemical-Weapons Crisis for Deterrence and Transatlantic Relations
Whether or not American policy after the 2013 Syrian chemical-weapons attack was wise, its execution was bungled, causing unnecessary harm to the US– France relationship
Dangerous Games
How does contemporary Russia view NATO's public attempts at thinking through scenarios for East–West conflict
The Revenge of History
Vladimir Putin justifies the annexation of Crimea by its alleged role as the cradle of Russia. ISIS announces that it has erased the Sykes-Picot colonial border. Sunni Arabs see Iranian expansionis
Iran: An Experiment in Strategic Risk-Taking
The Vienna agreement is the most detailed non-proliferation agreement ever devised, but we will only know in a few years if it was a reasonable bet
Deterrence at Three: US, UK and French Nuclear Cooperation
Western nuclear deterrence could benefit from closer cooperation ‘at three’. The US, UK and France should take care, however, to do no harm to their existing bilateral relationships
Drawing Red Lines Right
In the past two years, the expression “red line” has become a regular feature of the global policy debate. So much so that it risks becoming a punch line. Red lines have appeared in discussions abo
Leading on the Cheap? French Security Policy in Austerity
The Four Straw Men of the Apocalypse
Ward Wilson's thesis that nuclear weapons lack salience is cogently presented and supported by good sources. For the most part, however, his analysis is unconvincing and flawed
The Demise of Ares: The End of War as We Know It
The Climate Wars Myth
The first decade of the 21st century was the hottest since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Global warming is real and, if present trends continue, its possible effects worry publics and
Black Swan over Fukushima
It took more than a decade for the world nuclear industry to recover from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. It is unlikely to be any faster this time around

A Nuclear Iran and Nato
While NATO is already taking into account the putative Iranian nuclear threat through its missile-defence programme, few if any comprehensive assessments have been made of what it would mean to live with a nuclear-armed Iran. In many NATO meetings the looms large, but political sensitivities and differing perceptions among member states generally preclude any serious and explicit discussions of what it would mean for the Alliance. A nuclear-armed…

The Illogic of Zero
Forum: The Case for No First Use: An Exchange
In the June–July 2009 issue of Survival, Scott D. Sagan argued the current case for the United States to adopt a declaratory policy of no nuclear first use. Survival invited four experts from Europe, Asia and North America to comment on Sagan's argument. The author concludes the debate with his own final thoughts. Notes 1 See Morton H. Halperin, ‘A Proposal for a Ban on the Use of Nuclear Weapons’, 6 October 1961, at http://www.armscontrolwonk.co…
The changing nature of military alliances
The increasingly complex nature of the strategic environment and the diversity of security arrangements devised by contemporary nations test the very notion of alliance. In fact, the term “alliance” itself may be a growing source of strategic misunderstanding
Le bel avenir de l'arme nucléaire
Dans la continuité de la période gorbatchévienne, la nouvelle Russie attendait beaucoup, à ses débuts, d'une coopération avec l'Occident,. Ensuite sont venues les désillusions, dues à cette attente excessive, ainsi qu'à l'asymétrie croissante des ressources économiques, politiques et militaires. A partir de 1996 et du remplacement de Kozyrev par Primakov aux Affaires étrangères, la Russie chercha à faire davantage prévaloir ses intérêts nationaux…
Do arms races matter
“Arms racing” is a powerful political concept, but a sloppy analytical tool. The metaphor may act as an intellectual lens that unduly simplifies the complex dynamic of the twenty‐first century security environment. The phrase should be discarded
The Perfect Storm
Que reste-t-il du « néoconservatisme »
Après avoir soutenu Ronald Reagan dans les années 1980, les néoconservateurs ont exercé une grande influence au sein de l’administration de G. W. Bush, surtout depuis les événements du 11 septembre 2001 et la lutte antiterroriste. Mais les difficultés américaines au Moyen-Orient ont fortement affecté leur crédibilité même si le procès qui leur est aujourd’hui intenté est souvent injuste. Quoi qu’il en soit, force est de constater que leurs idées …

The Perfect Storm
La guerre sans fin: L'Amérique dans l'engrenage
Nouvelles puissances, nouvelles menaces
Avec la montée de la Chine et l'Inde parmi les acteurs internationaux importants et le déploiement de nouvelles stratégies américaines en réponse aux menaces terroristes, l'Europe ne se trouve plus au centre des relations internationales. Elle fait d'ailleurs preuve d'une difficulté à observer la hiérarchie des menaces et à organiser sa réponse en conséquence
De la surprise stratégique
Les surprises strategiques se sont multipliees au cours des dernieres decennies, tant dans le domaine politique que militaire, technique, economique ou financier. Nous devons nous habituer au fait que la surprise - et meme parfois la rupture strategique, comme en 1989 ou en 2001 - devienne un element permanent du contexte international. La France et l'Europe, pour faire face a ce nouveau contexte, doivent ameliorer leurs capacites de prevision et…
