Survival April–May 2021: Facing Russia

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

In this issue:

• Marcus Willett examines Russia’s SolarWinds hack and the painful lessons it holds for the United States



• In a special forum, seven experts consider the purpose and effectiveness of the United Nations, as well as the intricacies of Security Council reform, on its 75th anniversary



• Peter Rudolf argues that the United States’ perception of China as a revisionist strategic rival will complicate transatlantic policy coordination



• Ray Takeyh considers whether the US intelligence community bungled assessments of Iran’s political stability in the late 1970s

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