Strategic stability is a concept[1] in the international relations indicating lack of incentives for any party to initiate the nuclear first strike.[2] Strategic stability characterizes the degree of the deterrence provided by the mutual assured destruction and depends on the survivability of the strategic forces after the first strike.[3] The vulnerabilities are country-specific, and there is no universal agreed-upon definition of the strategic stability or ways to quantify it.[4]
Although the traditional view of the effect of the strategic stability, to make a first strike less plausible, was clearly articulated only in 1990 in a joint US-Soviet statement,[5] the corresponding ideas date back to the early 1950s (the exact roots are hard to identify, as many authors were "circling around" at the time).[1] During the development of the concept (until the early 1960s) the adjective "strategic" was rarely used, most authors used the term "stability" instead, mostly in the sense of the modern crisis stability.[1] The early thinking that evolved into the discussion of stability dates as early as 1946, when the dueling views of Bernard Brodie (military strategist) and William L. Borden were expressed. Brodie considered the nuclear bombs to be an effective weapon to be used against the cities, while Borden argued that in the almost inevitable future nuclear war the prime target should be the nuclear forces of the enemy, as "attacking cities ... can so easily be carried out later", and the "assets of surprise and the initiative" should not be squandered on them. In combination, these views reflect both sides of the strategic stability framework: the problem of the vulnerability of the strategic forces to a surprise attack and protecting the ability for a nuclear retaliation as a solution.[6]
