ArmsControlWonk.com is the brainchild of Jeffrey Lewis, who directs the Nuclear Strategy and Nonproliferation Initiative at the New America Foundation. Dr. Lewis explains that:

Over time, I’ve constructed an elaborate post-hoc rationalization for the site focusing on four goals:

1. To report items of interest that wouldn’t make it into the New York Times,
2. Place arms control related developments into context and correct lousy reporting,
3. To explore the foundations of arms control and other cooperative security strategies, and
4. Finally, to amuse myself and others.
