Survival: 66.4
Survival, the IISS’s bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment.
In this issue:
· Douglas Barrie and Timothy Wright underscore the need for Washington to prioritise qualitative rather than quantitative improvements to its nuclear capabilities – free to read
· Catherine Fieschi examines the implications of an indecisive French election
· Daniel Byman and Seth G. Jones explore the increasing ties between China, Russia, Iran and North Korea and obstacles to deeper cooperation
· Veronica Anghel and Erik Jones examine how the European Union can utilise its most powerful instrument – enlargement – to stabilise its peripheries
· And eight more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
