  1. 1. Terminating Apartheid's Atomic Bomb

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Oskar Hedman; [2023]
    Keywords : South Africa; Nuclear Disarmament; Tripart Accord; Frederik de Klerk; Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : South Africa secretly produced six and a half nuclear weapons from 1978-1989 before undertaking a complete nuclear disarmament between 1989-1991; it is the only instance in history of when a state has discarded an indigenously developed nuclear arsenal and presents a unique case for studying the nuclear decision-making of states. This thesis is a theory-testing case study where I, by conducting a qualitative content analysis of previous research on South Africa’s nuclear rollback, examine how well Scott D Sagan’s nuclear policy model can explain the nuclear disarmament of South Africa.

Current theories predict that the light elements such as hydrogen and helium were produced during the Big Bang. READ MORE
