Survival: August - September 2022

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

In this issue:

• Alexander K. Bollfrass and Stephen Herzog argue that despite facing major challenges, the global nuclear order remains resilient

• Maria Shagina assesses Russia’s status as an energy superpower, concluding that it has a bleak future in the long term

• Erik Jones argues that the war in Ukraine has disrupted the European Central Bank’s ability to operate by consensus

• Jeffrey E. Kline, James A. Russell and James J. Wirtz contend that the US Navy may struggle to adapt to the pace of technological, social and environmental change

• Ray Takeyh revisits the Iranian Revolution, finding that Jimmy Carter did not so much ‘lose’ Iran as misunderstand it

And five more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
