商品簡介
Johnson (director of the Acronym Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy) details the negotiating history of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, going beyond the formal negotiations of 1994-1996 and the positions of formal government officials in order to examine the influence of national and transnational civil society actors, interactions between government and non-governmental actors within states, and information exchanges and links between governments and domestic actors on different sides. She argues that state power and the linkage between nuclear interests and expectations were important, but did not determine outcomes to the extent predicted by realist or neoliberal traditions. She concludes the study with a discussion of lessons for conducting future multilateral negotiations more effectively and mechanisms to strengthen the nuclear test ban and promote the Treaty's entrance into force.
