Survival: October November 2023

Survival, the IISSs bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment.
In this issue:

• Nick Childs assesses the ambitions and perils of the AUKUS partnership for Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States

• Kimberly Marten explores how the demise of its key figures will affect future operations of the Wagner Group and similar Russian paramilitaries

• Steven Feldstein investigates the uses and risks of generative-AI systems

• From the Survival archives, the late Pierre Hassner interpreted Russias August 2008 attack on Georgia as signalling the emergence of a new cold war with the West

• Dana H. Allin reflects on the European vision advanced by members of a rapidly disappearing generation of scholars who had lived through war and sought to preserve and extend peace

• And eight more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
