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

In this issue:

• Rafal Rohozinski and Chris Spirito question whether artificial intelligence can evolve to offer sufficient protection against its own weaponisation
• Irene Mia argues that the United States’ operation in Venezuela could fuel criminal activity in the region and undermine the ‘war on drugs’ that the Trump administration cited as its justification
• Two previously published pieces from Dana H. Allin trace the evolution of Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Greenland
• Steven Simon casts doubt on whether the far more ambitious phase two of Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan will be realised
• And ten other thought-provoking pieces, as well as our regular Book Reviews and Noteworthy column
