In this edition, a trio of esteemed scholars, Robert Dalsjö, Michael Jonsson, and Johan Norberg, delve into the realm of Russia's military capabilities, reassessing them in light of Russia's recent battlefield performance in Ukraine. They analyze the factors that have contributed to Russia's successes and challenges, shedding light on the country's potential for future military operations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContinuing the exploration of strategic dynamics, William Alberque and Benjamin Schreer argue that Finland and Sweden's NATO membership, if managed judiciously, could bolster deterrence and European security. They discuss the potential benefits and risks associated with these memberships and the implications they could have for regional and global stability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChuck Freilich, in his essay, contends that encouraging diplomacy is the best of Israel's limited options for postponing Iran's nuclear-weapons program. He explores the complexities of the ongoing negotiations and analyzes the strategies that Israel and its allies are employing to address the threat posed by Iran's nuclear aspirations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicolas Lippolis and Harry Verhoeven, in their piece, assess the potential consequences of a wave of African defaults in the near future. They argue that while Chinese scheming may play a role, private-sector manoeuvring and intransigence will be the primary catalysts for this economic crisis. The authors offer insights into the political, economic, and social factors that will shape the future of Africa and its relationship with the global economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDana H. Allin and Erik Jones, in their essay, argue that Russia's isolation is not a viable endgame for the West, but it may be unavoidable for a generation. They explore the various factors that have contributed to Russia's isolation and the challenges that the country faces in the international arena. The authors propose strategies for managing Russia's isolation and promoting stability in the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to these thought-provoking essays, this edition of Survival features seven more thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column.
