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 Emma De Angelis.
Whitehall Papers
RUSI’s monograph series provides in-depth studies of specific developments, issues or themes in the field of national and international defence and security. Whitehall Papers reflect the highest standards of original research and analysis, and are invaluable background material for policy makers and specialists alike.
The Whitehall Papers series is edited by Dr Malcolm Chalmers.
RUSI Defence Systems
RUSI Defence Systems is produced three times a year and examines strategic, conceptual and acquisition issues faced by the global defence community. It is read in over a hundred countries and regularly features contributions from prominent and distinguished defence chiefs, scientists and industrialists from across the globe.
RUSI Defence Systems is published in association with Newsdesk Media.
Newsbrief
Newsbrief offers concise briefings and analysis of contemporary issues and trends in international security. Published every two months, its balance of rigour and immediacy provides an intelligent response to unfolding world events.
