Survival: October-November 2026

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

In this issue:

- Alina Frolova warns that Russia is already identifying, probing and preparing to exploit Europe's strategic hesitation - free to read

- Jonathan D. Caverley and Peter Dombrowski assess the United States' fraught quest for maritime dominance - free to read

- Ihsan Dagi suggests that Türkiye's pursuit of strategic autonomy is an ideologically driven anti-Western aim for civilisational reorientation rather than mere structural adjustment

- Sujata Ashwarya observes that minilateralism is increasingly a deliberate institutional choice in which states select the size of the table, the composition of participants, the scope of the agenda and, crucially, who is excluded

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