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

In this issue:

Daniel Deudney and G. John Ikenberry

argue that liberal internationalism is more appropriate to contemporary global realities than the Quincy-coalition restraint

James Crabtree

explains why the West’s Build Back Better World partnership will be hard-pressed to compete with China’s Belt and Road Initiative

Joelien Pretorius and Tom Sauer

contend that if states are serious about nuclear disarmament, they should ditch the NPT and join the Ban Treaty instead

Sameer Lalwani and Tyler Sagerstrom

analyse what the India–Russia defence partnership means for US policy

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