About the Book Series
Strategic Dossiers offers an annual selected title from The International Institute for Strategic Studies’ flagship collection of thematic book-length studies of the same name.

IISS Strategic Dossiers are produced by a team of specialists working under the supervision of its Research Board, which decides on the topics examined and ensures the highest standards of analysis.
