Summary "Since the end of the Cold War, globalization has brought new actors to the political arena. One of those which has attracted considerable attention in academic research is civil society or NGOs. Kissling addresses the topic of civil society participation in the nuclear non-proliferation regime. The regime qualifies well for this objective since it features, given its characteristics as a treaty regime in the international security field, notable legal avenues for civil society participation." "Civil Society and Nuclear Non-Proliferation cuts across different issue areas of international relations and as such it can be used to serve many different purposes. For lecturers, this book is ideal for courses on international institutions, globalization, security studies and democracy."--BOOK JACKET
