Survival: Global Politics and Strategy (April-May 2020)

Rezensionen / Stimmen

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

In this issue:






Anatol Lieven argues that strong and legitimate states remain central to any efforts to limit climate change and mitigate diseases such as coronavirus, and to maintain Western democracy



Oriana Skylar Mastro warns that hereditary autocratic regimes such as North Korea's are prone to sudden collapse, something for which policymakers should be prepared



Shelby Butt and Daniel Byman contend that Russia's attempts to undermine the West include supporting white-supremacist and other far-right groups



And eight more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular book reviews and noteworthy column 'In a world of complex security challenges the need for serious, thoughtful analysis is greater than ever. Survival's combination of elegant writing and rigorous scholarship from the world's top experts makes it essential reading for both practitioners and academics.'-- Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman, War Studies King's College London
