v, [1], 99, [1] plus rear cover. Illustrated front cover. Endnotes. This is a Report of the CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues, CSIS has made this available for downloading from on-line. Consequently relatively few copies were produced in hard copy form. The contents include and Introduction and five essays: Off-Ramps as a Tool of U.S.-China Escalation Management ( Mike Albertson); It Could Always Get Worse: Managing Escalation Risks with China (Matthew R. Costlow); No Nuclear Substitute for Conventional Denial (Adam Mount); Overestimating Prospects for Escalation Management (Kori Schake); and "Today is not the day": How the United States' Allies Contribute to U.S. Strategic Advantage in Deterrence and Escalation Management (Rebecca Shrimpton). To generate new thinking on the risks of escalation with China, the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) made escalation management in the Indo-Pacific the focus of its 2025 Project Atom series. The contributors each authored 5,000–6,000-word strategies using a shared analytic framework that addresses four specific topics: stakes and strategic objectives, escalation risks, military tools for escalation management, and diplomatic tools for escalation management. The strategies demonstrate agreement on key issues, including U.S. and Chinese objectives and the importance of deterrence. They also highlight important areas of disagreement, including the utility of nuclear weapons for deterrence and escalation management. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a bipartisan, nonprofit policy research organization dedicated to advancing practical ideas to address the world’s greatest challenges. Thomas J. Pritzker was named chairman of the CSIS Board of Trustees in 2015, succeeding former U.S. senator Sam Nunn (D-GA). Founded in 1962, CSIS is led by John J. Hamre, who has served as president and chief executive officer since 2000. Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) was founded in 2003. PONI is the premier networked community of next generation professionals prepared to meet the nuclear challenges of the future. PONI programs provide creative opportunities for emerging experts from a wide range of backgrounds to learn about nuclear issues and engage thoughtfully with the nuclear community. PONI also conducts cutting-edge research and analysis on three main topic areas: deterrence and escalation, risk reduction and arms control, and disarmament.…
