Anatomy of a Conference: Multilateral Diplomacy at the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference

by John Simpson, Helen Leigh-Phippard

"Anatomy of a Conference" offers a comprehensive and analytical account of the management and practice of multiparty diplomacy at the international conference held in 1995 to review how the 1970 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty has operated in the intervening 25 years and to decide whether the Treaty should be extended beyond 1995.

The book explores the range of nonproliferation and disarmament raised at the Conference and the decisions that were taken and seeks to explain the various outcomes in terms of the nature of the multilateral negotiations it engaged in. Drawing widely on literature from the study of nuclear nonproliferation, disarmament, and international negotiations, "Anatomy of a Conference" provides a unique approach to the understanding of nuclear diplomacy.
