This Position Paper entitled “Globalizing Resilience Against War & Deterrence In The Twenty First Century’ is a sequel to the Working Paper No. 03/2022 entitled “Essentiality of Resilience for National Security in 21 st Century India. It was published by PPF Centre For National Security in November 2022. While the Working paper was Indocentric in nature, the present Position Paper dwells on the global aspects of Resilience as a conceptual framework to examine whether the theoretical and practical dimensions can be applied and what recommendations can be made available to serve as a deterrence against war. In essence, this study is also a pilot project to place the theoretical construct and the architecture of Resilience can provide answer to eradicate the possibility of war and conflict in the 21 st Century and hence rationalize how Resilience can in due course of time replace Deterrence through application of weapons of mass destruction
