Strategic Survey 2008 was launched on Thursday 18 September 2008 at 10:30am. Dr John Chipman, Director-General of the IISS, presented the highlights and some of the main arguments of the book and comment on recent events. Dr Chipman, Alex Nicoll, Editor of Strategic Survey, and other senior IISS staff members then took questions.
Strategic Survey 2008 begins as usual with Perspectives, an assessment of global developments over the past year, followed by three essays on particular strategic policy issues. Six chapters analyse developments in individual countries, grouped by region. Strategic Survey 2008 concludes with Prospectives, which briefly sets out the strategic outlook for the coming year. A chronology is provided in the Events at a Glance section, and new for 2008 are 20 full-colour maps, grouped in the Strategic Geography section.
The speech and Q&A are available to watch.
