This book analyses the politics of the humanitarian disarmament
community-a loose coalition of activist and advocacy groups,
humanitarian agencies and diplomats-who have successfully achieved
international treaties banning landmines, cluster munitions and
nuclear weapons, as well as restricting the global arms trade. Two
campaigns have won Nobel Peace Prizes. Disarmament has long been a
dirty word in the international relations lexicon. But the success
of the humanitarian disarmament agenda shows that people often
choose to prohibit or limit certain violent technologies, for
reasons of security, honour, ethics or humanitarianism. This edited
volume showcases interdisciplinary research by scholars and
practitioners seeking to understand the dynamics and impact of the
new global activism on weapons. While some raise concerns that
humanitarian disarmament may be piecemeal and depoliticizing,
others see opportunities to breathe new life into moribund arms
control policymaking. Foreword by 1997 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Jody Williams.
