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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons $d (2017 July 7) 650 0 $a Nuclear disarmament. 650 0 $a Nuclear nonproliferation. 650 0 $a Nuclear arms control. 650 7 $a Nuclear arms control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039881 650 7 $a Nuclear disarmament. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039933 650 7 $a Nuclear nonproliferation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01040376 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kmentt, Alexander, 1965- $t The treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9781003080879 $w (DLC) 2020055238 830 0 $a Routledge global security studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018023009.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11375ABC177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
