Pauly’s scholarship focuses on coercive diplomacy and nuclear proliferation, particularly the assurance dilemma—how targets of coercion fear post-compliance punishment. His work also explores strategic secrecy, tacit cooperation between adversaries, and the psychological dimensions of nuclear brinkmanship.
His recent publications highlight 20th-century nuclear restraint, wargaming as a research method, and deniability in nonproliferation regimes. These studies often incorporate historical analysis, archival research, and experimental simulations to dissect crisis decision-making and policy misjudgments.
