Founded in 1966, SIPRI is a research institute with an established profile in the fields of arms transfers, arms control, and non-proliferation. Maritime shipping and air cargo companies are a key constituency in proliferation risk reduction strategies that involve the private sector. Most attention to date has focused on U.S. maritime shipping and air cargo companies, and there is a relative absence of initiatives designed to meet the needs of companies in the Middle East and Asia. This SIPRI project will develop recommendations for foreign maritime shipping and air transport service facilitators in the Middle East and East Asia.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute is an independent, non-profit think tank based in Sweden which conducts research on questions of conflict and security cooperation. This grant would support a Track 1.5 dialogue among government officials, military personnel and nongovernment experts from China and Japan, with the aim of fostering constructive discussion and building common understanding and confidence on maritime issues in the region. The funds will support staff support, travel, and convening costs, for two dialogue meetings as well as production of discussion papers and final reports. This grant would be made under the Track 1.5/2 element of the Foundation’s International Peace and Security program, which assists states that are party to highly sensitive disputes in working informally to resolve the problems that divide them.
