Survival August-September 2020: Crisis and response

Survival, the IISS’s bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment.

In this issue:

• Dalia Dassa Kaye and Shira Efron argue that only a major shift in US policy towards Iran would rekindle debate in Israel about its approach to the Islamic Republic
• Jordan Calinoff and David Gordon contend that the accusation of ‘debt-trap diplomacy’ against China lacks convincing evidence
• Erik Jones examines the impact of COVID-19 on the EU economy
• Michael J. Mazarr calls for a new international norm to safeguard the virtual territorial integrity of states from subversive cyber attacks

And ten more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular book reviews and Noteworthy column
