Abstract

ABSTRACT Contrary to detailed work on deterrence by punishment, Western strategic thought about denial and its effects is conceptually muddled at the expense of effective strategy-making. This article seeks to reconceptualize denial and rethink its emotional effects. It defines denial as a strategy aimed at frustrating the adversary’s military power and proposes four different denial logics: capability elimination, operational paralysis, tactical degradation, and strategic effect reduction. It then turns to the effects through which these denial logics generate favorable consequences, and singles out the emotions of despondency, resignation, fear, and disappointment as the key factors that mediate their impact. The article offers a framework that can help guide further theoretical reflection and empirical research, as well as inform the development of policies and strategies in today’s world.

超越威慑:重新定义拒绝策略并重新思考其情感影响

摘要与惩罚威慑的详细研究相反，西方关于否认及其影响的战略思想在概念上是混乱的，而牺牲了有效的战略制定。本文试图重新定义否认的概念，并重新思考其情感影响。它将拒止定义为一种旨在挫败对手军事力量的策略，并提出了四种不同的拒止逻辑：能力消除、作战瘫痪、战术降级和战略效果降低。然后，它转向这些否认逻辑产生有利后果的效果，并指出沮丧、顺从、恐惧和失望情绪是调节其影响的关键因素。这篇文章提供了一个框架，可以帮助指导进一步的理论反思和实证研究，并为当今世界的政策和战略发展提供信息。

期刊介绍： One of the oldest peer-reviewed journals in international conflict and security, Contemporary Security Policy promotes theoretically-based research on policy problems of armed conflict, intervention and conflict resolution. Since it first appeared in 1980, CSP has established its unique place as a meeting ground for research at the nexus of theory and policy. Spanning the gap between academic and policy approaches, CSP offers policy analysts a place to pursue fundamental issues, and academic writers a venue for addressing policy. Major fields of concern include: War and armed conflict Peacekeeping Conflict resolution Arms control and disarmament Defense policy Strategic culture International institutions. CSP is committed to a broad range of intellectual perspectives. Articles promote new analytical approaches, iconoclastic interpretations and previously overlooked perspectives. Its pages encourage novel contributions and outlooks, not particular methodologies or policy goals. Its geographical scope is worldwide and includes security challenges in Europe, Africa, the Middle-East and Asia. Authors are encouraged to examine established priorities in innovative ways and to apply traditional methods to new problems.
