25. SIPRIs Dr. Nan Tian on their new report "Trends in World Military Expenditure 2023"

Merk, intervjuet foregikk på engelsk. The Norwegian Peace Council's General Manager Oda Andersen Nyborg speaks with Dr. Nan Tian from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on their new report on "Trends in World Military Expenditure 2023". Every year SIPRI, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, will releases a report detailing the status of world military expenditure. The SIPRI Military Expenditure Database contains consistent time series on the military spending of countries from 1949 until today. It gives us a timeline of an increasingly militarized world. In this episode we have invited back Dr. Nan Tian from SIPRI to talk about how the world military expenditure has evolved since last time we spoke two years ago, in 2022. What has changed since then? In our previous conversation with Dr. Nan Tian, the Russia-Ukraine war was a highly potent topic. Now, with Israels war on Gaza and tension slowly building up in East Asia, how is this affecting world military spending? You can hear our last conversation in episode number 20. Dr. Nan Tian is a Senior Researcher and Acting Programme Director for the Military Expenditure and Arms Production Programme at SIPRI. He is responsible for monitoring and managing the SIPRI Military Expenditure Database.
