This is the untold story of quiet diplomacy on some of the hottest issues and most intractable conflicts in world politics in the post-9/11 era. Winners of the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize for its contributions to reducing the cold war nuclear dangers, the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs has played a behind-the-scenes role in international affairs since 1957. With the dramatic shifts in global politics at the turn of this century, this giant of science diplomacy found a renewed sense of purpose. Spearheaded by its new energetic Secretary General, Pugwash sought to reduce tensions through patient dialogue on the Iran nuclear issue, Syrian chemical weapons, resolving the Kashmir and Palestine conflicts, and talking to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Told through the many voices who have been a part of this work, this book recounts the extraordinary efforts of this little-known organization as it carved out a niche as a parallel contributor to diplomatic breakthroughs.
