As such, this book is a case-study of multilateral diplomacy and cooperation between state and civil society actors.

Guide
I am privileged to work as a diplomat in an area that is as fascinating and of such truly fundamental importance as nuclear disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation. Through my work in the Austrian Foreign Ministry, I feel I have been able to make a contribution to solving the nuclear weapons issue. This is what the Humanitarian Initiative and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons are all about. In 2019, I was granted a leave of absence from the Austrian Foreign Ministry to take up a senior visiting research fellowship at Kings College London, for which I am grateful. The time away from active diplomacy allowed me to write this book and record the history of the Humanitarian Initiative and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
My research fellowship at Kings College London and hence the work on this book has been made possible with generous funding from the Carnegie Corporation New York. I received additional generous financial support for this book and a series of workshops from the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, Federal Republic of Germany. I am grateful for additional generous funding provided to me by the Austrian Red Cross. Through the kind recommendation of Kazumi Matsui, Major of the City of Hiroshima, I received further generous funding from Mr. Koji Matsuo, Chairperson of the NPO Music brings Peace and Counselor of Calbee, Inc. I am honoured by the confidence that these funding institutions have placed in me.
I am grateful for the permissions to use epigrams that were granted by Taylor & Francis, the Norwegian Academy of International Law (NAIL), the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), the International Campaign for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), as well as from Lord Browne of Ladyton, Ambassador Jorge Lomonaco and Richard Lennane. I would also like to thank the Historical Archive of the Government of Norway.
