Clear changes occurred in the field of conventional arms control in the last two
decades. States adopted a multitude of norms on especially small arms control in
various multilateral control instruments. In addition, non-governmental advocacy actors
often established themselves as active participants in control debates with governments.
The changes are surprising because they took place in the security sphere and therewith
in an area traditionally understood to be the exclusive domain of governments. This
research project investigates the significance of the changes for the traditional
understanding of security governance. Specifically, it investigates the emergence of
control norms and the role and policy impact of non-governmental actors in the
promotion of the norms. It asks whether the normative changes and significance of nongovernmental
actors therein challenge the understanding of security governance that
underpins many established approaches to international relations theory.
