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

In this issue:

Riccardo Alcaro and Nathalie Tocci discuss Giorgia Meloni's malleable political views

Nigel Gould-Davies examines the recent prisoner swap between Russia and the West and its implications for future dealings with Russia

Heloise Fayet, Andrew Futter and Ulrich Kuehn analyse French, British and German approaches to developing an effective European nuclear deterrent

Thomas Juneau outlines the options available to Israel, Saudia Arabia and the United States in responding to the persistent Houthi threat

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