Survival: April - May 2024

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

In this issue: * Benjamin Rhode examines the threat of Europe's security guarantor of the past 80 years stepping back

• Ellen Laipson and Douglas Ollivant explore how the Gaza war has threatened Iraq's balancing act between the US and Iran

• Nigel Gould-Davies cautions that, despite the West's economic superiority over Russia, it is starting to look like the balance of resolve in the Ukraine war favours Russia

• Dana H. Allin and Jonathan Stevenson examine the mystery of why new aid for Ukraine is blocked in the US Congress in spite of bipartisan support

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