    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.

    Author : Chieri Yamamoto; [2023]
    Keywords : Business and Human Rights; International Law; Human Rights in Asia; Japan; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : Japan’s influence in Southeast Asia has been enormous throughout history, whether in its military occupation, culture, or economic ties, and there is no doubt that Southeast Asia has developed under its influence. Have Southeast Asian states then developed and improved their human rights situation because of Japan? Or has Japan aggravated the situation being “blue washed”, by performing its business activities to be “cooperative”, or to simply make profit? My answer to these questions is that Japan has certainly done a considerable amount of upbringing human rights norms, with afterwar compensation and ODA to help shape the infrastructure of many countries in the region, and this can especially be seen in economic, social and cultural rights.
