Nuclear Proliferation in South Africa

This book investigates
drivers and trends in nuclear proliferation in the Global South. Based on an in-depth
analysis of South Africa's nuclear history, it examines general causes of
proliferation, such as technical capabilities and constraints; a country's
motivation to build a nuclear bomb; and particular domestic and international
situations. It also highlights Britain's role in the development of
technological capability in South Africa and explains how nuclear weapons
influence international relations. Finally, the study offers effective
solutions to the problem of nuclear proliferation in developing countries.
