Short of nukes and free movement of people, free trade is probably the most successful deterrent policy we have ever had.
It doesn’t have a perfect record but it still has an extremely successful record.
The policy for global stability should be to bolster the liberal-democratic military industrial complex. Sharing weapons, training, intelligence, and troops with allies and countries at risk of invasion. strong commitment to upholding the global order along with consequences for violators. and free trade including with rivals not actively at war.

That’s what anti-war policy actually looks like.
