Assignment:

In this course, you have examined the concepts of escalation management and deterrence across a variety of contexts and domains. Three readings, in particular, have been at the center of this examination: Dangerous Thresholds: Managing Escalation in the 21st Century, pages 159-172 and 174-176, "Deterrence and Escalation in Cross-domain Operations: Where Do Space and Cyberspace Fit?," and "Thinking About Space Deterrence and China."

In "Deterrence and Escalation in Cross-domain Operations: Where Do Space and Cyberspace Fit?," Manzo posits we have a more established framework for deterrence and escalation from the nuclear cold war era as well as traditional conventional operations, but lack a common understanding of deterrence and escalation in the space and cyber domains, being without a shared framework for analyzing how concepts such as proportionality, escalation, credibility, and deterrence apply when capabilities in space and cyberspace not only enable operations in other domains but also are part of the battlefield. Considering Manzo's assertions and your course readings, propose two succinct guiding principles, or key considerations-one for space, and one for cyber-that would support a framework for deterrence and managing escalation in multi-domain operations. Support and defend your proposed principles with specific examples.
