Survival: February - March 2023

Survival, the IISS’s bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment. In this issue: Hans Binnendijk and David C. Gompert assess that Sino-US talks on nuclear stability should start with a nuclear no-first-use declaration Irene Mia argues that fiscal constraints might prevent new leftist governments in Latin America from implementing their policy pledges Agnieszka Gehringer makes the case that the EU will benefit in the longer term from reducing its economic dependency on China Jean-Yves Haine observes that the Ukraine crisis may be more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis insofar as Vladimir Putin considers Ukraine strategically crucial to Russia Cesare Merlini believes that the legacies of Henry Kissinger and Jean Monnet may help us to understand current trends in global affairs And six more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
