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.
