The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is the largest and most diverse political grouping of states engaged on issues related to nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. Drawing on the authors first-hand experiences as members of NAM observer-state delegations in NPT and IAEA negotiations, as well as the findings of a larger CNS research project on NAM nuclear politics, the book will provide important new insights about how a small subset of NAM states has tended to dominate NAM politics and have promoted policies that are often at odds with those advanced by Western states on issues such as nuclear…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is the largest and most diverse political grouping of states engaged on issues related to nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. Drawing on the authors first-hand experiences as members of NAM observer-state delegations in NPT and IAEA negotiations, as well as the findings of a larger CNS research project on NAM nuclear politics, the book will provide important new insights about how a small subset of NAM states has tended to dominate NAM politics and have promoted policies that are often at odds with those advanced by Western states on issues such as nuclear terrorism, IAEA safeguards, nuclear export controls, multinational fuel arrangements, proliferation in the Middle East, NPT, and nuclear arms control and disarmament. Based on an analysis of NAM perspectives, politics, and priorities, the book will provide practical recommendations for engaging NAM members in a more constructive fashion on issues related to nuclear nonproliferation, disarmament, peaceful use, and counter-nuclear terrorism. Particular attention will be given to problems likely to be encountered when Iran assumes the chairmanship of NAM in 2012 and how these difficulties can best be mitigated in the lead up to the next NPT Review Conference.

Rezensionen
"This is a beautiful book, containing many lovely examples at the forefront of geometric origami. Readers will find the patterns both challenging and satisfying to fold, and the concepts on which they are based form a foundation for many further potential explorations."
-Dr. Robert J. Lang, Origami Artist and Consultant, LangOrigami.com

"Ever wonder how paper artists can fold a sheet of paper into amazingly complex shapes? Then this book is for you. There aren't many resources out there for 3D, mathematically inspired origami, and Jun Mitani gives us a whole book's worth of fun, interesting models to help fill this gap. Geometric origami fans will love this book."
-Thomas C. Hull, Western New England University and Author of Project Origami: Activities for Exploring Mathematics, Second Edition
