Diplomacy and Nuclear Non-Proliferation: Navigating the Non-Aligned Movement

Paper

By Yvonne Yew, Research Fellow, Project on Managing the Atom/International Security Program

The Obama administration has sought a global cooperative approach to stem the spread of nuclear weapons and push for a stronger global engagement on the non-proliferation front. In the context of these efforts, this paper looks at the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), established 50 years ago and representing 120 "global South" countries on issues related to nuclear rights and proliferation.
