Survival: April - May 2023, (Paperback)

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

In this issue:

• Franz-Stefan Gady and Michael Kofman assess that Ukraine will not be able to avoid attrition in its military strategy against Russia

• Nigel Gould-Davies assesses that Vladimir Putin's priority has shifted from demobilising the population from politics to mobilising it behind the war

• Bastian Giegerich and Ben Schreer judge that Germany still requires significant changes to its defence and foreign policies for Zeitenwende to be meaningful

• Lynn Kuok believes that framing great-power competition as an ideological struggle is counterproductive to the United States' partnerships in the Asia-Pacific

• Adam Mount observes that a fixation on nuclear assurance is harming the military alliance between the United States and South Korea

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