Series Details:

The Adelphi book series, which is the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) principal contribution to policy-relevant, original academic research published jointly with Routledge, has adopted a striking new style. Adelphis are now short books, rather than long monographs. The new style also involves a modernised appearance, including individually designed cover art for each new book. The first two new books in the series are now available through the link below.
