This open access volume surveys the state of the field to examine whether a fifth wave of deterrence theory is emerging. Bringing together insights from world-leading experts from three continents, the volume identifies the most pressing strategic challenges, frames theoretical concepts, and describes new strategies. The use and utility of deterrence in today’s strategic environment is a topic of paramount concern to scholars, strategists and policymakers. Ours is a period of considerable strategic turbulence, which in recent years has featured a renewed emphasis on nuclear weapons used in defence postures across different theatres; a dramatic growth in the scale of military cyber capabilities and the frequency with which these are used; and rapid technological progress including the proliferation of long-range strike and unmanned systems. These military-strategic developments occur in a polarized international system, where cooperation between leading powers on arms control regimes is breaking down, states widely make use of hybrid conflict strategies, and the number of internationalized intrastate proxy conflicts has quintupled over the past two decades. Contemporary conflict actors exploit a wider gamut of coercive instruments, which they apply across a wider range of domains. The prevalence of multi-domain coercion across but also beyond traditional dimensions of armed conflict raises an important question: what does effective deterrence look like in the 21st century? Answering that question requires a re-appraisal of key theoretical concepts and dominant strategies of Western and non-Western actors in order to assess how they hold up in today’s world.

THIRD EDITION - UPDATED AND EXPANDED "Outsmart Your Cancer" is an in-depth alternative treatment guide that could save your life. It explodes the myths about alternative cancer treatments and presents more than twenty approaches that are non-toxic along with dozens of real-life cases from people who used these approaches to completely recover from a variety of cancers, many of which were in late stages. In this updated and expanded Third Edition, all the resources have been updated and new key information has broadened the scope of the book-including new sections on the Ketogenic diet for cancer, on using the natural plant compound "Paw Paw" to obliterate multidrug-resistant cancer cells, and on how you might be able to cure your dog or cat with cancer. Plus, critical information is presented on what men and women need to know about hormone-blocking drugs, the real truth about DCIS breast cancer (Is it really cancer?), what a man's PSA count really means, and whether he is better or worse off if he takes a testosterone-blocking drug, as well as how to evaluate conventional claims of efficacy for toxic treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. Highly esteemed doctors and scientists are quoted regarding the scientific basis behind each approach and extra information has been included regarding the amazing liquid formula called "Protocel" with new recent Protocel recovery cases added. This book completely demystifies cancer and makes it clear why non-toxic approaches are often more effective at bringing about complete cures than toxic ones. There are two very different worlds of cancer treatment today - conventional and alternative - and it can be difficult to understand what one's best treatment options might be and why. This book will help you make a much more fully informed treatment decision!
