About This Site

By Ian Stewart, 10 August, 2022

This site is maintained by Dr Ian Stewart and reflects his work in the trade compliance and export control space, informed in part by research undertaken at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS). It is intended as a platform to showcase and share analytical work related to trade compliance, trade analysis, and, more broadly, nonproliferation.

CNS is the world’s largest nongovernmental research center focused on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. While much of CNS’s work concentrates on WMD-related issues, this site adopts a broader scope, encompassing all aspects of export controls, trade compliance, and sanctions. Its primary audience is the nonproliferation practitioner community, with particular relevance for export compliance professionals.
