Abstract
This article suggests that the inclusion of geographic considerations helps to create a more nuanced idea of strategic stability. At one level, there are the geographical conditions such as disputing territorial claims that lead policy-makers to perceive the increased propensities for inter-state conflict in a given region. At the other level, there are geostrategic conditions that lead strategic planners to perceive geostrategic vulnerabilities as a result of their assessments about the viability or imminence of military operations.
