Description:...

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

In this issue:

• Adam Roberts explores pandemics and politics through the ages, arguing that trust in leadership is essential in the struggle against infectious diseases



• Rebecca Barber and Sarah Teitt contend that ASEAN should take a more activist approach to the Rohingya crisis to salvage its credibility



• Greg Austin assesses the strategic implications of China’s weak cyber defences



• Øystein Tunsjø casts doubt on the prospect of the Arctic becoming a theatre of great-power conflict

And eight more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular book reviews and Noteworthy column.
