Recent Trends in Global Arms Transfers and Military Spending

Join the Stimson Center and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) for a discussion on recent trends in global military spending and the international arms trade. The webinar will feature SIPRI’s latest global trends reports and examine the impact of events that occurred in the last year –including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, renewed pressure to halt arms sales to irresponsible actors, and the election of the Biden administration in the United States –on arms transfer dynamics and military expenditures. Experts will discuss how political and economic conditions affect recent trend lines and explore potential implications for the future.
