Military exercises represented a noteworthy facet of Cold War security competition in Europe and, although the Cold War is over, the renewed proliferation of exercises has contributed to the increasingly strained relationship between NATO and Russia. But what causes exercises to have such an impact? The seemingly straightforward answer, that large-scale exercises are most problematic due to their showcasing of capability, is undermined by the reality that it is not only large-scale exercises that cause concern. Using interviews with military personnel, diplomats, NATO civilian personnel, and subject-matter experts, as well as archival data and open-source material on military exercises in Europe between 1975 and 2018, this dissertation explores the conditions under which military exercises increase the perception of threat. Through Process Tracing and Qualitative Comparative Analysis the dissertation compares the way in which the Soviet Union, Russia, and NATO conducted exercises, their intended functions, and the reactions that they caused. In doing so, differences between the three entities emerge. These differences were driven partly by an understanding of relative capability, but they also rested on divergent strategic cultures. In short, exercises increase the perception of threat when they intersect with an understanding of what constitutes 'security' for the non-exercising entity. Thus, for the Soviet Union and Russia the most troubling exercises were those that highlighted NATO's collective military capability, while for NATO the most troubling were those that created an unpredictable security environment. The concern that exercises could lead to escalation was such that, in 1975, a regime of 'Confidence-Building Measures' was introduced to provide information on forthcoming exercises. This was later expanded into 'Confidence- and Security-Building Measures', promoting even greater openness. This regime was ultimately central in shaping how exercises were conducted and perceived, and examining how the Soviet Union, Russia, and NATO interacted with it provides further insight into how security is understood. These findings have interesting theoretical implications, particularly around confidence and signalling. Effective signalling requires understanding and appreciating potential misalignment in perceptions of 'threat' and 'security', and confidence in the benign intent of another party cannot be created while both entities are striving for military dominance.
