Ranking 41/59 (Inter<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l Relations); 83/112 (Political Science)<br />

Deputy Editor: Timothy D. Hoyt, United States Naval War Colleg, USA<br />

Over the last twenty years, the reshaping of the world politics and the<br />

development of innovative military technologies has placed a huge question<br />

mark beside the efficacy of force in contemporary statecraft. Consequently, the<br />

field of strategic studies has never been of greater significance than it is today.<br />

Since the appearance of the first issue in 1978, The Jour<strong>na</strong>l of Strategic Studies<br />

has taken a lead in promoting fresh thinking in the field among practitioners<br />

and academics alike.<br />

The defining feature of The Jour<strong>na</strong>l of Strategic Studies is its commitment to<br />

multi-discipli<strong>na</strong>ry approach. The editors welcome articles that challenge our<br />

historical understanding of man’s efforts to achieve political ends through the<br />

application of military and diplomatic means; articles on contemporary security<br />

and theoretical controversies of enduring value; and of course articles that<br />

explicitly combine the historical and theoretical approaches to the study of<br />

modern warfare, defence policy and modern strategy.<br />

The Annual Review of World Affairs<br />

Edited by Inter<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l Institute for Strategic Studies<br />

Strategic Survey is the annual review of world affairs from the<br />

Inter<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l Institute for Strategic Studies. It is an invaluable<br />

tool for interpreting world-wide strategic developments. Since<br />

1966, it has provided the essential one-volume a<strong>na</strong>lysis of the<br />

year’s key events in inter<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l relations for government<br />

policy makers, jour<strong>na</strong>lists, business leaders and academics.<br />

Key features:<br />

• ‘Events at a Glance’ chronology<br />

• ‘Perspectives’; an assessment of the effect of major events<br />

and trends on the strategic landscape over the past year<br />

• Three specially commissioned essays for 2010 – US Nuclear<br />

Policy Transformed; US Defence Policy: Preparing for<br />

Change; Europe’s Evolving Security Architecture<br />

• Regio<strong>na</strong>l chapters, a<strong>na</strong>lyzing developments in individual countries<br />

• Thematic chapters, examining particular strategic policy issues, such as terrorism and<br />

weapons of mass destruction, missile defence and the future of peacekeeping<br />

• ‘Prospectives’; an essay setting forth strategic priorities for the coming year<br />

• A Strategic Geography section, containing thirty-two pages of maps depicting<br />

strategically important activity and political change globally, regio<strong>na</strong>lly and locally.<br />

The interplay of political developments and the actual or potential use of military force<br />

remains The Strategic Survey’s chief concern. Nevertheless, since the end of the Cold War<br />

and of the first distinct post-Cold War period, the Institute has recognised that any survey<br />

of matters strategic needs to broaden its scope to embrace economic concerns as well.<br />

Survival: Global Politics<br />

and Strategy<br />

A publication of The Inter<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l<br />

Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS)<br />

Editor: Dr Da<strong>na</strong> Allin<br />

Survival, the<br />

Institute’s bi-monthly<br />

jour<strong>na</strong>l, is a leading<br />

forum for a<strong>na</strong>lysis<br />

and debate of<br />

inter<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l and<br />

strategic affairs. With<br />

a diverse range of<br />

authors, thoughtful<br />

reviews and review<br />

essays, Survival is<br />

scholarly in depth<br />

while vivid,<br />

well-written and policy-relevant in approach.<br />

Shaped by its editors to be both timely and<br />

forward-thinking, the jour<strong>na</strong>l encourages<br />

writers to challenge conventio<strong>na</strong>l wisdom and<br />

bring fresh, often controversial, perspectives<br />

to bear on the strategic issues of the moment.<br />

“Survival has always been a source of<br />

knowledge and wisdom in strategic matters.<br />

It still is, but it also has become an exciting and<br />

rich guide to the complexities, contradictions<br />

and contentions of the post-Cold War<br />

inter<strong>na</strong>tio<strong>na</strong>l political system.”<br />

Professor Stanley Hoffmann, Harvard University<br />
