Contents A diamond is forever. Or is it? --- Agenda setting -- 'A rebel is a girl's best friend': creating global concern for blood diamonds --- Decision making: the creation of an independent tripartite forum, the Kimberley Process --- The Kimberley Process certification scheme: a voluntary agreement, not a treaty --- Implementation: translating words into action --- Revitalization: resetting agendas and reinvigorating the campaign --- Conclusions: beyond blood diamonds.
Summary Despite its importance in international affairs, the Kimberley Process remains understudied in academia. Franziska Bieri's book provides the first comprehensive account of the Kimberley Process and is the first to reveal how NGOs have become critical actors in their own right, possessing the ability to directly influence policies, even at the level of international organizations.
