Eurodeterrent: A Vision for an Anglo-French Nuclear Force

A new Anglo-French deterrence policy would need clear articulation by London and Paris, either in a single document, or in separate but coordinated statements, similar to the U.S. Nuclear Posture Review. Neither country currently has such a detailed declaratory policy. Greater specificity would be necessary to bolster the credibility of an Anglo-French deterrent in the eyes of Moscow. Such a policy would also provide reassurance to non-nuclear European allies, who would need to be involved in its formulation in a similar way as with the U.S. Nuclear Posture Review.

The financial, military, diplomatic, and cultural challenges facing any Anglo-French deterrent would be formidable and require a “paradigm shift” in Europe’s approach to nuclear deterrence.
