This book chronicles the genesis of the negotiations that led to
the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which
challenged the established nuclear order. The work provides readers
with an authoritative account of the complex evolution of the
'Humanitarian Initiative' (HI) and the negotiation history of the
TPNW. It includes a close analysis of internal strategy documents
and communications in the author's possession which trace the
tactical and political decisions of a small group of state actors.
By demonstrating the unacceptable humanitarian consequences and
uncontrollable risks that these weapons pose to everyone's
security, the HI convinced many states to ban nuclear weapons and
reject the policy of nuclear deterrence as unsustainable and
illegitimate. As such, this book is a case-study of multilateral
diplomacy and cooperation between state and civil society actors.
It also contains a full discussion of both sides of the nuclear
argument and assesses the extent to which the HI and the TPNW have
moved the dial and present opportunities for transformational
change. This book will be of much interest to students of nuclear
disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation, diplomacy, global
governance, and International Relations in general.
