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.
