Revisited: The Global Arms Trade

Latitude Adjustment

The global arms industry may only account for about one percent of global trade, but it’s important to note what that one percent is buying and the role that arms sales play in influencing other aspects of global trade and political relations. We speak with Frank Slijper in Groningen, The Netherlands, where Frank leads a project on the global arms trade for Pax, a global peace research and advocacy organization. Here are Frank’s Pax reports on the arms trade in Turkey and the UAE. This episode was originally published on June 27th, 2020 Support Latitude Adjustment Podcast on Patreon!
