FIRST: Facts on
International Relations and
Security Trends
The Stockholm International
Peace Research Institute (SIPRI),
whose printed works have
long been highly regarded,
moves into Cyperspace with
the FIRSTsite, which is a
joint project of SIPRI and
the International Relations
and Security Network. Users
can access 39 databases
prepared by 18 separate
centers, programs, agencies,
etc., from governmental and
nongovernmental
organizations in eight
countries in North America
and Europe. Several
divisions of the UN
contribute to the site as
well. The databases include
all sorts of information on
all aspects of conflict,
e.g. summaries of conflicts,
maps, military expenditures,
military equipment, military
strength, arms traffic and
nuclear capability. These
military-focused databases
are put into context with
general country
information-population,
size, density and rate of
increase; gross
domestic/national product
and budget figures;
political structure and
more. Users can search on
any of 196 individual
countries or compare up to 6
countries. The database
includes all the world’s
independent countries plus
Palestine and the two New
Zealand associate states.
Content is clear, concise,
well written, and easy to
navigate.
