Amidst an increasingly unsettled global environment, fears about deteriorating security are raising questions about the durability of international partnerships and the relationships fueling military power. To explore how these trends are shaping international security cooperation, join the Stimson Center and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) for a virtual event featuring newly released SIPRI data on recent trends in international arms transfers. Situating these developments within a broader strategic context, the event will consider how arms transfers reflect uncertainty in a global order and disruption of long-standing diplomatic ties and evolving patterns of security cooperation.
