To Walk Without Fear: The Global Movement to Ban Landmines

By: Cameron, Maxwell A.

Book Overview

To Walk Without Fear is a comprehensive and authoritative account of the global movement to ban landmines. It brings together leading academics, senior policy-makers, and prominent leaders of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to examine and draw lessons from the Ottawa Process that culminated in December 1997 when over 120 states signed a Convention to ban the use, sale, and production of landmines.
To Walk Without Fear resulted from an unusual collaboration of universities, governments, and NGOs, which developed in tandem with the negotiation process itself. The book will be both timely and of enduring value to policy-makers interested in drawing lessons from the Ottawa Process, to NGOs interested in replicating its results in other areas, to academic specialists and students interested in foreign policy and international affairs, and to the general public seeking an accessible and readable account of one of the most significant global movements in recent years.
