What Deters and Why: Applying a Framework to Assess Deterrence of Gray Zone Aggression

by Jeffrey W. Hornung, Joe Cheravitch, Michael J. Mazarr

In this report, RAND researchers identify eight common characteristics of gray zone aggression, develop a framework for assessing the health of U.S. and partner deterrence in the gray zone, and apply the framework to three case studies: China's actions in the Senkaku Islands, Russia's actions in the Baltic states, and North Korea's actions in South Korea.
