Strategic Survey is the annual review of world affairs from the International Institute for Strategic Studies. It is an invaluable tool for interpreting worldwide strategic developments. Since 1966, it has provided the essential one-volume analysis of the year’s key events in international relations for government policy makers, journalists, business leaders and academics.
Strategic Survey features an assessment of the effect of major events and trends on the strategic landscape, followed by detailed analysis of particular strategic policy issues (see contents below). Another seven chapters of similar length, written along thematic rather than merely chronological lines, cover developments in particular regions or countries. Strategic Survey concludes with ‘Prospectives’, an essay setting forth strategic priorities for the coming year. Also included are 28 pages of maps depicting strategically important activity and political change.
