Survival December 2020–January 2021: A World After Trump 

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

In this issue:

• Barry Posen argues that Europe is better placed to defend itself militarily than many, including the IISS, have portrayed it to be






• Kori Schake examines the prospects of Republican politics in a post-Trump America






• Daniel Byman and Aditi Joshi call for protocols to curb the abuse of social media by malign agents and states






• Nigel Gould-Davies explains Russia’s stance on Belarus with reference to Moscow’s long history of involving itself in its neighbours’ affairs

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