Survival, the IISS's bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment.
In this issue:
- Franz-Stefan Gady and Michael Kofman highlight the pitfalls of grafting a Western manoeuvre-oriented approach to war onto the Russia-Ukraine conflict
- Irene Mia examines the chasm between Javier Milei's dramatic rhetoric and the domestic and international obstacles he faces to changing Argentina's foreign and economic policies
- Edoardo Campanella and John Haigh outline the necessity of meaningful dialogue between the West and China to prevent the internet's fragmentation
- John Raine assesses the geopolitical trends that the Gaza war has set in motion and the issues they create for Ukraine's defence against Russia
- And seven more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
