The Arms and Security Initiative was part of the American Strategy Program at New America from 2007 through early 2011. It is now part of the Center for International Policy, and continues to be headed by founding director William D. Hartung. Mr. Hartung remains active at New America as well, serving as a senior research fellow in the American Strategy Program.
While part of the New America Foundation, this initiative provided independent research and policy analysis to journalists, policy makers, and citizen’s organizations on the issues of weapons proliferation, the economics of military spending, and alternative national security frameworks. It was the successor project to the Arms Trade Resource Center at the World Policy Institute. For an archive of that project’s work, go to www.worldpolicy.org/projects/arms.
