On 11 March, SIPRI and the Stimson Center hosted a virtual discussion on the geostrategic implications of recent trends in global arms transfers. Under the title ‘The Re-making of International Security: Arms Transfers Trends in a Changing Global Order’, the event featured newly released SIPRI data on recent trends in international arms transfers.
Amidst an increasingly unsettled global environment, fears about deteriorating security are raising questions about the durability of international partnerships and the relationships fuelling military power. Together with Elias Yousif, Fellow and Deputy Director of the Conventional Defense Program, Stimson Center, Siemon T. Wezeman, SIPRI Senior Researcher, discussed how arms transfers reflect uncertainty in a global order. Rachel Stohl, Senior Vice President of Research Programs and Director of the Conventional Defense Program at the Stimson Center, moderated the discussion.
