re-escalation

re-escalation
a) The process of escalating again.

In the opinion of His Majesty’s Government it is most important for political and other reasons that some limit should be fixed now, and it seems to them desirable, while avoiding any excessive increase, to fix a limit at such a level that reescalation is unlikely to be required again in the Capital Ships category during the period of the Treaty.

b) An instance of escalating again.

Unlike crisis escalation, crisis termination is a two-directional process in which protagonists cautiously descend the escalation ladder while simultaneously guarding against possible undetected re-escalation by one’s opponent.
