Survival, the journal from The International Institute for Strategic Studies, is entering its 50th year as a leading international forum for analysis and debate of global politics and strategy. The journal, which was founded to grapple with the existential challenges of a nuclear balance of terror, has continued after the Cold War to explore the most urgent problems of our era – from humanitarian intervention to the theology of mass terrorism, from the significance of rising new powers to the responsibilities, or delusions, of an American hyperpower.
As part of its 50th anniversary ‘re-launch’, Survival is increasing its tempo of publication, from quarterly to every two months. It will now feature a full-colour illustrated cover; expanded, more informative contents pages; expanded and authoritative review essays and reviews of new books in the field of global politics and strategy from a team of illustrious contributing editors; more exchanges, debates and shorter essays from a range of viewpoints; and highlights from Survival’s archive. The journal’s core seriousness, however, will not change. It will continue to publish longer articles fully referenced with endnotes, pieces that reflect serious scholarship without being overly academic in form. It will continue to stress rigorous analysis and elegant expression, and to promote strategic dialogue of global scope, reflecting the international composition of its contributors and readership.
