Reframing the Agenda: the Impact of NGO and Middle Power cooperation in International Security Policy
|
|
October 29, 2003 |
|
|
| CDI Senior Analyst Rachel Stohl contributes a chapter on the global movement to stop the use of child soldiers in the new book, Reframing the Agenda: the Impact of NGO and Middle Power cooperation in International Security Policy, edited by: Kenneth R. Rutherford, Stefan Brem, and Richard A. Matthew. This new book collects new insights on current security problems, especially those related to arms control and disarmament. Contributors argue that the cooperative efforts of NGOs and middle powers have positively impacted the use of child soldiers, the employment of cluster bombs, landmines, nuclear weapons, and the proliferation of small arms and light weapons. In doing so, they conclusively show that global players other than superpowers can create alternative and effective solutions to enduring security problems. |
