About RUSI Publications

RUSI publications offer rigorous, timely and policy-relevant analysis of UK and international defence and security issues.

Leading thinkers and practitioners contribute to our stable of authoritative periodicals, monographs, books and reports.

The RUSI Journal

Published six times a year, the Journal is the Institute’s flagship publication and a leading international forum for the exchange of ideas on defence and security. Since it was first published in 1857 the Journal has been essential reading for anyone tracking global developments in the field.

Today, the RUSI Journal brings fresh and challenging perspectives to bear on a comprehensive range of topics, from strategic theory to counter-insurgency; from military history to current government policy; and from international terrorism to domestic counter-radicalisation.

The RUSI Journal is edited by Dr Ian Kearns.

Whitehall Papers
