A recent decision by the European Union to impose a total embargo on the purchase of Iranian oil has prompted threats from Tehran to close the world's most important oil chokepoint. However, an assessment of military capabilities deployed in the area, and of likely tactics, suggests that Iran would find it difficult or unpalatable to cause major disruption. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-18-2012/february/strait-of-hormuz-irans-disruptive-military-options/ 62479 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT 20120207000000 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:37:26 GMT 20120206153726 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:16:40 GMT 2012021010101640 A wave of anti-government protests in Russia in late 2011 has rocked its political establishment. United in anger at President Dmitry Medvedev's decision to cede his post to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, as well as at evidence of electoral fraud in recent legislative elections, up to 100,000 Russians gathered on 24 December to take part in some of the country's largest protests since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Wilkening asks whether missile defence in Europe threatens Russia; and Erik Jones examines Italy's Sovereign Debt Crisis. Other highlights include Michael Elleman on Iran's missile threat, Andrew Parasiliti on the end of Americas mission in Iraq, and Charles Kupchan on the future of the EU. http://www.iiss.org/publications/survival/survival-2012/year-2012-issue-1/ 61911 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:01:26 GMT 20120208130126 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:21:55 GMT 20120120112155 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:01:26 GMT 201202081310126 Relations between Washington and Islamabad deteriorated rapidly during 2011. A series of incidents, including the death of Osama bin Laden in an American raid in Pakistan and the killing of Pakistani soldiers by NATO forces in a skirmish on the Afghan border, created a poisonous atmosphere. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-18-2012/january/us-and-pakistan-a-troubled-relationship/ 61602 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT 20120110000000 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:06:11 GMT 20120110130611 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:00:37 GMT 201201101750037 As the international security forces prepare to depart from Afghanistan, this Adelphi turns attention to the ability of a ravaged country to tackle its myriad security problems, overcome crippling poverty and corruption and somehow revive its devastated economy. The government faces daunting challenges, ranging from the threat of insurgency and cross-border terrorism to the difficulty of reintegrating and reconciling former Taliban figures and combatants into a political settlement. http://www.iiss.org/publications/adelphi-papers/adelphis-2011/afghanistan-to-2015-and-beyond/ 60876 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT 20111215000000 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:33:39 GMT 20111205153339 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:38:18 GMT 201202041313818 The latest round of climate negotiations in Durban, South Africa, ended in a cliff-hanger in the early hours of 11 December. A last-minute huddle on the conference floor produced an unexpected agreement to extend the Kyoto Protocol, and a commitment to produce a replacement for it. Though the deal failed to meet what many see as the minimum cut in emissions needed to limit global warming to no more than 2C, it was probably the best outcome that could have been hoped for. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-17-2011/december/durbans-surprise-climate-deal/ 61108 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:43:22 GMT 20120125164322 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:21:23 GMT 20111213172123 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:43:22 GMT 201201251644322 Egypt's convoluted transition from authoritarian rule to a more democratic system continues to suffer from serious tremors. In recent weeks, activists failed in an attempt to revive the revolution and challenge military rule, though the military did offer concessions and installed a new interim government. While the country's most free parliamentary elections in decades are under way - with Islamist parties so far winning easily - the future course of Egypt's revolution remains highly uncertain. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-17-2011/december/egypts-fragile-transition-to-democracy/ 60751 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:00:01 GMT 20120202120001 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:21:08 GMT 20111130122108 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:00:00 GMT 2012020212120000 A contentious political calendar is about to unfold in South Africa where the ruling African National Congress (ANC) is in the throes of an identity crisis. The year 2012 will begin with an ostentatious centenary party on 8 January when the continent's oldest liberation movement will celebrate 100 years of struggle politics. It will close with a party conference in December from which the next crop of leaders will emerge to steer the ANC and South Africa through the next few years. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-17-2011/december/things-fall-apart-in-south-africas-anc/ 60167 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:46:35 GMT 20120125164635 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:21:53 GMT 20111111182153 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:46:34 GMT 201201251644634 View the Winter 2011 IISS Newsletter http://www.iiss.org/publications/iiss-newsletters/newsletters-2011/winter-2011/ 60982 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:17:39 GMT 20111208161739 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:57:17 GMT 20111208155717 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:17:39 GMT 201112081641739 When British Prime Minster David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy signed the Defence and Security Cooperation Treaty just over a year ago, neither could have realised how quickly elements of this closer relationship would be tested, with armed intervention in Libya. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-17-2011/december/the-anglo-french-entente-frugale-plus/ 60665 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:01:36 GMT 20111205130136 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:25:02 GMT 20111128142502 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:01:35 GMT 201112051310135 The Pakistani province of Baluchistan hit the headlines recently when Islamabad responded to the deaths of its soldiers in a NATO attack by closing Western military supply routes running through it. However, the area has been a source of conflict for decades as ethnic Baluch have waged a campaign for greater political and economic freedom from Islamabad. Rising Taliban and sectarian attacks have added to the violence this year. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-17-2011/december/bad-times-in-baluchistan/ 57552 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT 20110818000000 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:51:55 GMT 20110815175155 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:52:11 GMT 201201251645211 An evolving crisis over Iran's nuclear programme escalated this month as an IAEA report detailed evidence of Iranian R&D work on nuclear weapons, mostly dating to pre-2004, and the US and allies invoked the harshest sanctions yet.

A fascinating article republished from local magazine Semana (below) shows in rare detail how his death resulted from a well-planned and adventurous intelligence operation involving officers infiltrating communities deep inside FARC territory, masquerading as shopkeepers, drivers and more. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-17-2011/november/the-downfall-of-farc-leader-alfonso-cano/ 60552 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:08:28 GMT 20120112160828 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:26:59 GMT 20111123192659 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:08:27 GMT 201201121640827 Volume 53 Number 6 of Survival, the Institute's bi-monthly journal, has been published. http://www.iiss.org/publications/survival/survival-2011/year-2011-issue-6/ 60410 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:17:11 GMT 20111202161711 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 10:13:40 GMT 20111121101340 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:17:10 GMT 201112021641710 Are our networked societies really vulnerable, as some have suggested, to a knock-out blow, perpetrated by state-sponsored hackers or terrorists?

His career in the British civil service spanned three decades, during which time he advised various governments, including those of James Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher. He was closely involved in the decision to procure Trident from the United States and, within NATO, in shaping the policies that led to the deployment of cruise and Pershing missiles. http://www.iiss.org/publications/adelphi-papers/adelphis-2011/on-nuclear-deterrence-the-correspondence-of-sir-michael-quinlan/ 59238 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:23:12 GMT 20111103112312 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:31:31 GMT 20111013113131 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:23:12 GMT 2011110311112312 Volume 53 Number 5 of Survival, the Institute's bi-monthly journal, has been published. http://www.iiss.org/publications/survival/survival-2011/year-2011-issue-5/ 58597 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:43:07 GMT 20111013154307 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:57:03 GMT 20110922135703 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:43:07 GMT 201110131534307 View the Autumn 2011 IISS Newsletter http://www.iiss.org/publications/iiss-newsletters/newsletters-2011/autumn-2011/ 58848 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:37:00 GMT 20110930163700 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:57:22 GMT 20110930155722 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:36:59 GMT 201109301643659 Strategic Survey is the annual review of world affairs from the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

The Kim family's dominance of the DPRK since 1948 has confounded its critics and frustrated its allies in equal measure. Despite its dependence on economic aid from the former USSR and China, and later the USA, it pursues its nuclear ambitions at all costs. http://www.iiss.org/publications/adelphi-papers/adelphis-2011/north-korea-nuclear-weapons-and-international-security/ 52683 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT 20110314000000 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:46:40 GMT 20110314134640 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 10:57:23 GMT 2011092610105723 The Military Balance is the annual assessment of the military capabilities and defence economics of 170 countries worldwide, produced annually by the IISS since 1959.

But its promised peaceful rise has done little to convince regional powers that it will not use force to press longstanding territorial claims or attempt sea-denial operations in Asia's lucrative trade routes. Uncertainty about Beijing's intentions could thus beget a new, unpredictable arms race as states scramble to protect their interests. http://www.iiss.org/publications/adelphi-papers/adelphis-2010/trapped-giant-chinas-military-rise/ 50771 Mon, 20 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT 20101220000000 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 10:24:12 GMT 20110104102412 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:53:16 GMT 201202041315316 After two decades of stagnation, Russia and the United States have pledged their support for reductions in nuclear warheads. But the vision of mutual disarmament remains plagued by doubts on all sides. Russia, the US and American allies struggle as ever with the notion that downsizing would be a step into the unknown, and hold on to the belief that, when it comes to deterrence, size matters. Until now, the reasons behind this anxiety and whether it is justified have not been properly explored. http://www.iiss.org/publications/adelphi-papers/adelphis-2011/deterrence-during-disarmament-deep-nuclear-reductions-and-international-security/ 55511 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT 20110301000000 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:39:29 GMT 20110602123929 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:54:01 GMT 201202041315401 The 8th Annual IISS Global Strategic Review (GSR) 10-12 September 2010: 'Global Security Governance and the Emerging Distribution of Power http://www.iiss.org/publications/conference-proceedings/global-strategic-review-report-2010/ 53289 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:48:39 GMT 20110401164839 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 11:55:56 GMT 20110401115556 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:48:39 GMT 201104011644839 View the Winter 2010 IISS Newsletter http://www.iiss.org/publications/iiss-newsletters/newsletters-2010/iiss-newsletter-winter-2010/ 50547 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:41:44 GMT 20101216144144 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 10:31:07 GMT 20101216103107 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:41:44 GMT 201012161424144 Volume 52 Number 6 of Survival, the Institute's bi-monthly journal, has been published. http://www.iiss.org/publications/survival/survival-2010/year-2010-issue-6/ 49979 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT 20101201000000 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 10:06:30 GMT 20101201100630 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:14:17 GMT 201109281421417 In the twenty-first century, the European Union is confronted by myriad security problems that demand concerted action and cooperation.

The move has reinforced concerns in the West that Turkey is turning away from a Western-oriented foreign policy. In fact, the recent shift in Turkeys approach is the culmination of a process that began soon after the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power in 2002, and has accelerated since Ahmet Davutoglu was appointed for http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-16-2010/october/turkeys-bid-to-raise-influence-in-middle-east/ 48321 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT 20101025000000 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 10:34:48 GMT 20101025103448 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 12:52:04 GMT 2011101112125204 The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has in 2010 taken part in numerous exercises, experimented with long-range force projection and represented China abroad in a number of diplomatic visits. This heightened level of activity results from an ambitious naval strategy which seeks to secure China's access to energy resources and to give it more diplomatic leverage in territorial disputes with its neighbours. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-16-2010/october/chinas-three-point-naval-strategy/ 47931 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT 20101014000000 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:23:38 GMT 20101014142338 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:27:45 GMT 201108141862745 Missiles launched from unmanned aircraft to disrupt al-Qaeda and related groups outside the recognised conflict zones of Iraq and Afghanistan have become a key weapon in Washington's counter-terrorism armoury.

Governments, prompted by the renewed momentum of non-proliferation and disarmament initiatives, have put nuclear policy at the top of the international agenda.

Blocked on the road to European integration, it was bracing itself for a predicted economic contraction of up to 10%. Its citizens needed visas to travel to most countries outside the region. In a short period, however, things have changed so much that Serbian leaders have taken to claiming that their country is retaking its place as the natural leader of the region. http://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/past-issues/volume-16-2010/january/serbia-surges-forward/ 35307 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:29:06 GMT 20100614162906 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:42:24 GMT 20100128094224 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:29:00 GMT 201006141642900 The trend towards violence and extremism in South Asia moved inexorably upwards in 2009. Afghanistan and Pakistan experienced major increases in terrorist incidents, often involving suicide bombings against high-profile urban targets including hotels frequented by foreign nationals and installations belonging to the security forces. Though governments have begun to take small practical steps to manage the problem more effectively, these are unlikely to have much impact in the short term.

African oil now accounts for more than 30% of Chinas oil imports, and China is Africa's second-largest single-country trading partner, as well as a leading lender and infrastructure investor on the continent.

Acton Nuclear disarmament is firmly back on the international agenda. But almost all current thinking on the subject is focused on the process of reducing the number of weapons from thousands to hundreds. This rigorous analysis examines the challenges that exist to abolishing nuclear weapons completely, and suggests what can be done now to start overcoming them.

Analysis of its record since 1945 suggests that the Council cannot address all security threats effectively.

While it has traits that exploit and reflect the current international context, it is not utterly without precedent: some aspects of al-Qaeda are unusual, but many are not. Terrorist groups end according to recognisable patterns that have persisted for centuries, and they reflect, among other factors, the counter-terrorist policies taken against them.

Ansari    The election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the summer of 2005 thrust Iran into the international limelight in a way that few would have predicted. Robust, confrontational and given to bombastic rhetoric, Ahmadinejad has drawn condemnation from the West and praise from the Middle Eastern street in almost equal measure.

Exactly three years later, its plans were revealed in a White Paper.

Bowen   For over three decades, driven by the core motive of deterring external threats to its security, Libya sought to acquire nuclear weapons. Having attempted but failed to procure them off the shelf from several states during the 1970s, by late 2003 it had succeeded in assembling much of the technology required to manufacture them.

Frost   The very mention of nuclear terrorism is enough to rouse strong reactions, and understandably so, because it combines the most terrifying weapons and the most threatening of people in a single phrase. The possibility that terrorists could obtain and use nuclear weapons deserves careful analysis, but discussion has all too often been contaminated with exaggeration, even hysteria.
