About SIPRI North America

In February 2012, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) launched SIPRI North America, its new research center based in Washington, D.C.

 

SIPRI is an independent international institute dedicated to research into conflict, armaments, arms control and disarmament. Established in 1966, SIPRI provides data, analysis and recommendations, based on open sources, to policymakers, researchers, media and the interested public. SIPRI North America aims to bring new global perspectives to security and foreign policy debates across North America and strengthen cooperation between SIPRI and its transatlantic partners.
