Survival: June - July 2023

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

In this issue

• Hannah Aries, Bastian Giegerich and Tim Lawrenson assess that Europe’s defence industry will struggle to meet increased production needs
• In 2007, the late Ronald Steel judged that while the Iraq War had weakened the United States, it would not profoundly affect US foreign policy (from the archive)
• Dana H. Allin reflects on Ronald Steel’s legacy and prospects for the ‘extended American Century’
• Liana Fix argues that the West should formulate security guarantees for Ukraine in parallel with its counter-offensive
• Daniel Sobelman assesses that the Yemen-based Houthi rebel movement is emulating Hizbullah

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