Popis: This chapter details the decision into extending the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). It explains how the United States and its allies achieved their goal of the indefinite extension during the debate in 1995. According to a theory of regime adherence based on US global leadership, the US government expended great effort in trying to persuade all other NPT members to support indefinite extension. The chapter looks into the history surrounding the key event and the position of several states with varying levels of embeddedness within the US-led liberal order, including Japan, Indonesia, Egypt, and South Africa. It explicates the United States using all of its tools of persuasion depending on the countries' embeddedness level to achieve its desired outcome.
