Conference on Global Security: SIPRI Yearbook

Participants, including international experts, peacebuilders, and policymakers, join this annual review to engage with authoritative data that informs global defense and diplomacy strategies. They are motivated by the need to understand the complex dynamics of modern warfare, such as the role of private military companies and the integration of autonomous weapon systems into national security strategies. Many attend to gain insights into the specific military trends of 2023, including the expansion of nuclear stockpiles in countries like India and North Korea, which directly impacts regional stability. The event provides a unique forum for diverse groups to be involved in high-level discussions about overcoming political polarization and the "crisis of international order." Additionally, researchers and journalists join to access SIPRI’s unique datasets on international arms transfers and military spending, which are indispensable for factual and balanced reporting. Ultimately, participants are driven by a shared responsibility to identify pathways toward human security and resilience against the backdrop of global rearmament.
