Join us on February 16th at 10:00 AM EST for The Changing Arms Trade – Regional Impacts of the War in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has implications not only in Europe but throughout the world, as trade in weaponry increases because of the conflict. This panel takes up some of the regional dynamics with an eye on what’s (not) happening to restraint in the arms trade and what should be done moving forward. Pieter Wezeman will examine evolving European arms transfers policies toward Ukraine in comparison to policies to other countries. Nancy Okail and Sarah Leah Whitson will share insight into the Middle East, looking not just at major suppliers of weapons to the region but also the weapons production activities and exports from countries in the region and the implications that will have on peace dynamics. As analysts increasingly look to the Ukraine war for lessons about potential conflict over Taiwan, Michael Klare takes on the role of planned and potential weapons transfers in the rising tension between China and the United States. This session is co-sponsored by the Center for International Policy, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), and the Forum on the Arms Trade.

– Michael Klare, Senior Visiting Fellow, Arms Control Association
