With Networked Nonproliferation, Michal Onderco has written the best existing study of a crucial event in arms control history: the 1995 indefinite extension of the NPT. He also makes important theoretical contributions identifying sources of success in international treaty management. Scholars and practitioners alike will benefit from his insights. -- Scott D. Sagan * Stanford University * Michal Onderco breaks new ground in his masterful analysis of the negotiation of the NPT's indefinite extension, Networked Nonproliferation. Drawing on an impressive array of interviews with actual participants in the negotiation, previously untapped archival information, and the large body of scholarship on the subject, he has produced by far the most detailed account of events leading to the historic 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference outcome. If, as is often asserted, conference president Jayantha Dhanapala was the magician who produced the unexpected product, Onderco has revealed many of the secrets behind the magic. -- William Potter * Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey * With Networked Nonproliferation, Michal Onderco provides a fresh and compelling account of how the NPT was made permanent in 1995. Through engaging writing and rigorous analysis of new evidence, this original study provides important insights into a decision with implications for the contentious politics of the nuclear nonproliferation regime today. -- Nina Tannenwald * Brown University *

What emerges is a well-rounded and balanced account most likely to become the authoritative work on the 1995 NPT Review Conference. I have no doubt that this contribution will become a hallmark in the study of nuclear non-proliferation and that scholars, students and practitioners alike will benefit from the book. Finally, Onderco's treatise serves as a timely reminder of what is possible in arms control diplomacy. -Robin E. Moeser, South African Journal of International Affairs
