SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute)??

[T]

Hej!
Är det någon som kan ge mig lite information om Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)? Är de kopplade till någon viss organisation (åsikt) eller är de oberoende, seriösa forskare? Är deras material användbart i historie- och samhällsundevisning på gymnasienivå?

Från deras hemsida:

The Institute is financed mainly by the Swedish Parliament. For the fiscal year 2002, SIPRI received a grant of 22 million Swedish crowns. SIPRI also seeks financial support from independent foundations throughout the world for carrying out its research programme. Currently, some of the research projects are supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Irish Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, the Geneva Centre for Democratic Control of Armed forces (DCAF), UNDP, the United States Institute for Peace, the Korea Foundation, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the Nobel Foundation and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The projects financed by the grants are of one to three years' duration.

Och ja, deras forskning tenderar att hålla hög internationell klass.
