About the Research

“Who Arms War” is part of the ongoing research project “Defense Industries and Armed Conflict” from the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University.

It aims to provide a visual companion to the first research publication in the series, “Business as Usual”, which investigates the question:

“Does conflict in, or involving, a recipient state, affect the willingness of exporters to supply arms?”
