This, the 50th edition of the SIPRI Yearbook, is dedicated to Robert Neild (1924–2018), founding director of SIPRI and ‘father’ of the SIPRI Yearbook. He wrote in the first edition, ‘until now there has been no authoritative international source which provided—in one place—an account of recent trends in world military expenditure, the state of the technological arms race, and the success or failure of recent attempts at arms limitation or disarmament’. To this day, his creation is acknowledged worldwide as an authoritative source on issues of peace and security.
