Abstract

This study does not aim to provide an exhaustive analysis of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND)’s influence on Britain’s nuclear arms control policy between 1957 and 1963 for two main reasons. First, although a full-scale study of CND’s organisation and effect is still required, much work has already been done and is readily available.1 Second, and perhaps more importantly, the CND, which came to subsume so many diverse individuals and groups, was more significant at that time as a sociological grouping than as an influential pressure group. The direct influence of CND on government policymaking in regard to the CTBT or nuclear disarmament as a whole was, in the author’s opinion, very much more limited than the organisation’s scale and the publicity it attracted might lead one to believe.
