The literature on nuclear proliferation has focused on explaining why states 'go nuclear, ' but there is a dearth of research on the nonproliferation policies of states that have renounced nuclear weapons. The purpose of this excellent volume is to fill that gap. This invaluable book makes an important contribution to the literature on nuclear nonproliferation.--M.E. Carranza ""Choice"" This is a valuable volume as it considers the questions of why different states view the nonproliferation regime differently and why some sign only the Nonproliferation Treaty while others accept all of the subtreaties and agreements under the regime. The focus on the regime is a new approach that will make this book interesting to students and specialists alike.--T.V. Paul ""James McGill Professor of International Relations, McGill University and author of The Tradition of Non-Use of Nuclear Weapons"" State Behavior and the Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime addresses the factors that influence a state's decision to support global nonproliferation efforts. This topic might appear to be synonymous with the question 'Why do states forego nuclear weapons?' Nevertheless, the issues are distinct - a government might forego a nuclear arsenal yet remain a 'no show' when it comes to backing various nonproliferation initiatives. Fields and his colleagues provide valuable insight into an issue that has received little attention from nonproliferation experts.--James J. Wirtz ""Naval Postgraduate School""
