The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is the largest and most diverse political grouping of states engaged on issues related to nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. Drawing on the authors first-hand experiences as members of NAM observer-state delegations in NPT and IAEA negotiations, as well as the findings of a larger CNS research project on NAM nuclear politics, the book will provide important new insights about how a small subset of NAM states has tended to dominate NAM politics and have promoted policies that are often at odds with those advanced by Western states on issues such as nuclear terrorism, IAEA safeguards, nuclear export controls, multinational fuel arrangements, proliferation in the Middle East, NPT, and nuclear arms control and disarmament. Based on an analysis of NAM perspectives, politics, and priorities, the book will provide practical recommendations for engaging NAM members in a more constructive fashion on issues related to nuclear nonproliferation, disarmament, peaceful use, and counter-nuclear terrorism. Particular attention will be given to problems likely to be encountered when Iran assumes the chairmanship of NAM in 2012 and how these difficulties can best be mitigated in the lead up to the next NPT Review Conference.

Nuclear terrorism was perceived as a remote reality by NAM countries and a mechanism to disturb the nuclear energy programmes of the developing world. The NAM summit has not yet taken a collective stand on nuclear security or the nuclear security summit process. The last NAM summit separately identified terrorism as a security problem. However, the phrase "nuclear terrorism" still eludes the official summit documents. The NAM countries still believe that only a world without nuclear weapons may ensure them security, thus the official documents and resolutions emphasise "nuclear disarmament". Admittedly, a few issues relating to the operationalisation of the Nuclear Security Summit made the NAM countries apprehensive. This is because NAM's relationship with "nuclear security" is relatively new, although the association is growing. The approach of the NAM countries towards nuclear security is very positive and the grouping has started working with other groups and through several institutions. Despite not taking a stand on nuclear security or nuclear terrorism, the NAM appears determined to adopt key elements of nuclear security.
