'By observing civil society participation in the field of international security and measuring it against a set of well-justified normative criteria, this innovative study makes a significant contribution to three literatures that rarely speak to one another. As a result, political theorists interested in avenues to global democracy, students of non-state actors in world politics and security specialists alike will find this a well-argued and thoroughly-researched book.' Peter Mayer, University of Bremen, Germany 'The book is well researched and many notable authorities are quoted to buttress arguments. The book analyzes, logically and rationally, the access afforded to CSOs, transparency in decision making, the extent to which CSOs were included in dialogues, and the responsiveness of the authorities to CSOs' recommendations...[The book] gives a fair assessment of the NPT and the other non-proliferation regimes.'
