This volume comprehensively covers a range of issues related to
dynamic norm change in the current major international arms control
regimes related to nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons; small
arms and light weapons; cluster munitions; and antipersonnel mines.
Arms control policies of all of the key established and rising
state actors are considered, as well as those of nonaligned
countries, nongovernmental organizations, and international
governing bodies.
Recent studies on multilateral arms control tend to focus mostly on
"structure," by which opportunities and constraints for action are
created. This volume pays equal attention to "agency," through
which opportunities and constraints to produce change or maintain
the status quo are handled. In addition-and in greater depth than
in recent studies-the volume acknowledges the force of moral and
ethical impulses (alongside such factors as political, legal, and
technological change) in the evolution of arms control norms.
The volume begins with a look at the structure of regimes, at the
conflicts residing in these structures, and at the dynamic
processes in which these conflicts are worked out. The impact of
extrinsic factors on norm dynamics is considered next, including
technological change and shifts in attitudes and power structures.
Essays on the role of agency in driving norm change conclude the
volume, with a particular focus on norm entrepreneurship and the
importance of acknowledging the competing justice claims
surrounding norm-change efforts.
