Eva-Nour Repussard

Policy Fellow
Strategic Stability | Emerging Technologies | Nuclear Strategy

Eva-Nour Repussard is a Policy Fellow at BASIC, where she works on the Responsibilities and Global Governance programme. She is a leading expert on emerging and disruptive technologies, and ballistic missile proliferation, with a particular focus on their implications for strategic stability and international security.

She holds a MA from King’s College London in Intelligence and International Security and a BA (Hons) in International Relations from the University of Birmingham and Fudan University in Shanghai.

Eva-Nour’s analysis has notably been presented at the United Nations Office in Vienna, the Austrian MFA (BMEIA), the French MFA (MEAE), and at the Hague Code of Conduct (HCoC) Regional Meeting in Djibouti. She is regularly invited to speak at high-level international forums, including NATO’s 5th Early-Career Nuclear Strategists Workshop, the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Conference (EUNPDC), CSIS PONI Winter Conference, and the UK PONI Annual Conference, where she has shared policy-relevant research on topics ranging from cyber threats to strategic stability to missile proliferation dynamics.

Her latest commentary, ‘Nuclear Posture and Cyber Threats: Why Deterrence by Punishment Is Not Credible and What to Do About It’ published by the European Leadership Network, argues that the UK’s nuclear posture, which threatens nuclear retaliation against severe cyber-attacks, lacks credibility due to challenges in attributing cyber incidents and the high threshold for kinetic responses, and recommends enhancing cyber resilience and adopting a deterrence-by-denial strategy instead.
