Current literature identifying effective approaches to nuclear non-proliferation and rollback is somewhat one-dimensional, emphasizing the behavior of great powers and international organizations. By contrast, this chapter by CSS’ Stephen Herzog analyzes activities militarily non-aligned States may undertake supporting negotiations in accordance with international legal norms and institutions. More specifically, it explores Swedish and Swiss initiatives in the early 2000s, a period of growing tensions over the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs.
