Published six times a year, the RUSI Journal is the Institute’s flagship publication and a leading forum for the exchange of ideas on national and international defence and security issues. First published in 1857, the RUSI Journal is the oldest publication of its kind in the world and considered by practitioners and scholars alike to be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand war and conflict, British and international defence and security policies, and military history.
With ten to twelve timely and policy-relevant articles on contemporary defence and security matters, scholarly studies on military history and a substantial book reviews section, the RUSI Journal consistently brings the most innovative and challenging perspectives to bear on past, present and future issues in the field.
