Overview

Survival, the IISS’s bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment. In this issue: · Barry R. Posen maintains that European defence planners must extract maximum combat power from existing European force structures by way of a large force that can be dispatched quickly for maximum effect on Russian decision-making · In the wake of the 12-Day War, Michael Eisenstadt argues that the key question is whether Israel and the United States can negotiate a broader and better nuclear deal with Iran and deter it from rebuilding its nuclear programme · Nigel Gould-Davies reflects that international relations is in practice a craft rather than a science, in which individual choices and personal diplomacy are now more relevant than ever · Marcel Berni and Marco Jorio assess the contradictions of Switzerland’s commitment to neutrality, and how the country might embrace a less rigid version for the contemporary security environment · And nine other thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
