Survival: August-September 2026 (en Inglés) - The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS)

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

In this issue:

· Trond Arne Undheim warns that the use of artificial intelligence in nuclear command and control compresses the time available for human deliberation and contextual reasoning, producing a new kind of strategic blindness – free to read

· Mahsa Rouhi assesses that the adaptive political mechanisms that Iran has devised to resist coercion have extended the survival of its regime

· Christopher J. Fettweis argues that the United States’ view of Iran as an implacable enemy drives misperceptions about Iranian intentions and magnifies the perception of the threat it poses – free to read

· Dana H. Allin observes that MAGA conservatism and its definition of nationalism is at odds with post-war American conservatism, which came to accept aspects of the New Deal, the civil-rights movement and the Great Society – free to read

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