note = {Deterrence and Détente have again come to the forefront of NATO’s
agenda. As a response to Russia’s forced annexation of Crimea and
destabilization of the Ukraine, NATO decided already at its 2014
Summit in Wales to rebalance its tasks, giving renewed attention to
deterrence. The 2016 NATO Summit saw a return to the twin approach of
Harmel: to link deterrence and dialogue. Until today, western states
act along traditional lines: they strengthen conventional capabilities
for deterrence and aim to revitalize conventional arms control.
However, to achieve more security through the Harmel approach from
Cold War times, three conditions would need to be met: a) both
pillars, deterrence and dialogue have to be adapted to a new security
environment, b) to from a coherent approach, initiatives in the two
pillars have to be actively coordinated in reference to each other and
among NATO-allies, c) Russia would need to return to the dialogue.},
