Historically, during the Cold War, this condition rested on mutual vulnerability and was achieved through arms control and measure. However, this framework is being reshaped by the advent of digital capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the relatively static assumptions of mutual vulnerability in Cold War\u2013era stability models, the digital era introduces fluid and adaptive threat environments, compresses decision-making time, and reduces predictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read the full policy brief and the implications for Canadian strategic stability, our national strategic autonomy, and potential contributions to our alliance partners, click the Download button below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eetn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/02\/Impact-of-Digital-Technologies-upon-Strategic-Stability-1.pdf\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike the relatively static assumptions of mutual vulnerability of Cold War\u2013era stability models, the digital era introduces fluid and adaptive threats.
