Survival October-November 2021: The Limits of Power

Survival, the IISSs bimonthly journal, challenges conventional wisdom and brings fresh, often controversial, perspectives on strategic issues of the moment. In this issue: Anatol Lieven argues that realist support for prudence and restraint in foreign policy does not equate to chauvinism, isolationism and opposition to international cooperation Toby Dodge assesses that the United States attempt to comprehensively transform Afghanistan was based on its erroneous presumption that the liberal-peacebuilding model was universally applicable Audrey Kurth Cronin contends that the logic of fighting terrorists far from the US homeland no longer holds, as the US faces resource constraints and rising domestic terrorism Jens Ringsmose and Sten Rynning analyse the potential priorities and scope of NATOs next Strategic Concept, and how it can bridge the Alliances politicalmilitary divide And eight more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
