Nuclear Negotiations Conditions for Effective Nuclear Diplomacy

This edited volume studies nuclear negotiations and diplomacy from a negotiation perspective. This book reviews the current state of knowledge regarding multilateral negotiations and seeks to provide key research insights on the conditions under which nuclear negotiations can become more effective. Drawing on the work of a group of leading international scholars on nuclear negotiations specifically, or multilateral negotiations more broadly, each chapter explores a central dimension that is necessary for effective nuclear diplomacy. The volume engages with some of the key factors and explanations behind more effective nuclear diplomacy and discusses some of the most pressing empirical challenges.

Reviewing what we currently know about how negotiation attempts addressing global challenges can be made more effective, this book will be of interest for students of international relations, nuclear diplomacy, nuclear disarmament, arms control, nonproliferation. It will also be of interest for wider circles of people engaged in policy-making relating to these issues.
