Nuclear Proliferation: Why States Pursued the Bomb and How U.S NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION: WHY STATES PURSUED THE BOMB AND HOW U.S. FOREIGN POLICY AFFECTED STATES DECISION-MAKING by Jacob Martin A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland August 2020 © 2020 Jacob Martin All Rights Reserved Abstract This paper discusses why countries decided to pursue nuclear weapons and explore to what extent U.S. foreign policy factored into such decision-making. Three theoretical models were considered with regard to providing a rationale for either attempted or successful nuclear proliferation: the security model, the reputational model, and the domestic/political model. This research tests the thesis that regardless of the type of government, economy, location, conventional military strength, as well as the depth of foreign relations with the United States, states are more likely to pursue a path to nuclearization to counter perceived geopolitical threats of an existential nature, if robust security guarantees are not assured. To test this thesis, three sets of case studies are used: allies (South Korea, Israel, France), adversaries (Iran, Iraq, North Korea), and loose allies (Pakistan, India). The central conclusion drawn from this thesis and its exploration of theoretical models and relevant case studies has shown that although security alliances are often viewed as being problematic due to a past likelihood to entangle countries and entrap them in broader conflict, as seen in both world wars, the opposite is true, as their value has shown to be key in furthering global efforts to counter nuclear proliferation. With the exception of the French nuclear program, which can be best explained by the reputational model, the security model is most suited to explain the rationale of states’ nuclear pursuits. The combination of strong, sustained security alliances, along with offers of civilian nuclear cooperation, have led to dozens of states, even those outside NATO, such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, to refrain from producing nuclear weapons, despite their technological capabilities, supporting the ii second conclusion that latent nuclear powers are discouraged and disinterested in weaponizing their programs, regardless of the ease of doing so, as to remain in the protection of a superpower. While security guarantees are currently the largest inhibitor of nuclear proliferation, with China’s rise, this next, bipolar stage in geopolitics may require greater emphasis on economic ties in conjunction with existing security guarantees to prevent the emergence of additional nuclear states.

Three theoretical models shall be considered with regard to providing a sound rationale to either attempted or successful nuclear proliferation: the security model, reputational model, and the domestic/political model. Each model highlights somewhat distinct domestic, regional, and global issues of a state in explaining its motivation to go down the nuclear path. This research will seek to test the thesis that regardless of type of government, economy, location, conventional military strength, as well as the depth of foreign relations with the U.S., states are more likely to pursue a path to nuclearization to counter perceived geopolitical threats of an existential nature, if robust security guarantees are not assured. This is particularly true within the context of U.S. foreign policy and the current geopolitical order. The second chapter begins by providing a brief explanation of each of the model’s various tenets, then the third chapter delves into case studies of the nuclear programs of three major 1 U.S. allies, South Korea, Israel, and France. This initial focus on U.S. allies stems from a desire to research, assess, and argue why their close security, political, and economic relationships with the U.S. were largely insufficient in preventing nuclear proliferation. The fourth chapter delves into case studies of U.S. adversaries, seeking to determine why Iran, Iraq, and North Korea pursued/achieved nuclear weapons. These particular states were chosen, not only because of their geopolitical opposition to the United States, but also because they are quite distinct from the allied states with regard to their respective political structures, economies, and geostrategic goals. These adversarial case studies shall serve as a comparator to derive further results as to why states proliferate and the U.S. role, either direct or indirect, in these states’ calculus to pursue a nuclear deterrent. The fifth chapter explores the nuclear proliferation of India and Pakistan, both of which can be described as loose allies with regard to foreign relations with the U.S. These particular states were chosen due to their degree of security, economic, and political relationship with the U.S., with Pakistan’s longstanding relationship with Washington waning, while India’s relationship has and continues to expand rapidly. Both shifts in relations are generally attributed to a post-Cold War realignment and the inevitable emergence of a bipolar global structure, comprised of both the U.S. and China as the world’s preeminent superpowers. Following these chapters, a final chapter, “Analysis and Conclusion,” will be provided with regard to why these states proliferated, how U.S. policy played a role, and identifying how 2 such proliferation can and should be prevented to ensure a more prosperous global environment. Chapter 2 Models of Proliferation Since World War II, states around the world have looked to strengthen their military power through the pursuit of nuclear weapons, of which the security model plays a defining role. The most prominent examples are often those of authoritarian governments who have or previously had nuclear programs, such as Iran, North Korea, and Iraq. However, such post-war efforts include not just geopolitical adversaries to the U.S., but also close allies, such as South Korea, France, and Israel. Per the security model explanation, the largest, and perhaps, most obvious reason for states to engage in nuclear proliferation is to ensure state security. States may seek nuclear weapons due to lack of conventional military power, sufficient security assurances or alliances, or other methods of deterrence. State security, however, is not the only rationale behind the pursuit of nuclear weapons. Beyond the security model, two other major models can be found in states’ development of nuclear weapons. The first, which can be described as reputational model, applies to states 3 that seek weapons to increase their prestige and status on the international stage. Finally, the development of nuclear weapons can be explained by what can be referred to as a domestic/political model, which pertains to pressures exerted by scientists, the military, the elite, or popular movements that push a state toward nuclearization. 2.1 Security Model The security model is both the oldest and most prevalent school of thought in explaining the motivations of a state in seeking a nuclear weapon. In the security model, states exist in an anarchical international system and therefore only self-reliance for security shall ensure the well-being and sovereignty of a state. The security model, therefore, argues that states only have two options: develop a costly nuclear deterrent to guarantee state survival or join a robust security alliance and/or receive sufficient security assurances from a nuclear ally. However, this is understood to be a black or white approach and applies more so to states in a high-threat regional environment. The nature of the international system (unipolar, bipolar, multipolar) is related to the efficacy of a security alliance. While unipolar and bipolar systems tend to have the geopolitical weight via their overwhelming military and/or economic might that affords them the geopolitical leadership to address and resolve 4 various global security concerns, multipolar systems are more likely to yield new nuclear states, as former superpowers and their respective security assurances are weakened. The choice of entering into a security alliance versus nuclear acquisition is based on abandonment and entrapment fears. Abandonment in this model refers to fear of patron state not coming to aid of the state which sought the security partnership in the first place. Entrapment refers to the fear that joining a security alliance may entangle a weaker state into the conflicts of its larger, patron state, putting the weaker state’s sovereignty at risk. If a state has a high fear of abandonment, but a low fear of being entrapped or embroiled in other conflict due to alliance membership, it is more inclined to pursue security assurances. However, if a state has high abandonment and entrapment fears, it is more likely that the state will pursue nuclear weapons, regardless of whether third party security assurances are presented. Others point out that while frequently employed, the application of the security alliance model should be treated with a certain degree of skepticism as it is unlikely that superpowers may risk their own security on behalf of another state.

  • The Rise and Decline of Rogue States
    The Rise and Decline of Rogue States THOMAS H. HENRIKSEN ____________________________________ “While rogue powers have emerged throughout history, their re-appearance on the international scene was greeted with surprise in political circles in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse. The Cold War’s familiar pattern of dual superpower relations left Western policymakers ill-prepared for the menacing misconduct of unpredictable regimes, which have been seemingly beyond the influence of leading states.” ____________________________________ ince time immemorial there have been polities that have stood outside the international community. For centuries, rogue Sentities have flouted the rules imposed by major states or imperial structures to attain their ends. As in modern times, they rose to assault the status quo but then fell either to defeat or to clientage of a stronger power. In the modern context, rogue states show contempt for international norms by repressing their own populations, promoting international terrorism, seeking weapons of mass destruction and standing outside the global community. If these states approach clientage or a loose affiliation with a Great Power or even a stronger regional player, they lose one vital rogue quality and move toward a more traditional proxy relationship of a vulnerable state under a patron power. Examining the rich historical role rogues have played throughout the ages can help advance our understanding of their contemporary counterparts. However, this does not imply that today’s rogues are exact historical analogs to their ancient cousins. Rather, they are forces that share a number of common traits and typically disrupt an established order. —————————————— Journal of International Affairs, Spring 2001, 54, no.

  • Explaining Israel's Ties with South Africa During The
    DIRTY SCAPEGOATS: EXPLAINING ISRAEL’S TIES WITH SOUTH AFRICA DURING THE 1970s AND 1980s Yehonatan Alsheh1 Abstract The article surveys five possible explanations for the ties between Israel and South Africa between the 1970s and 1980s. (1) The Industrial-Military Complex Explanation, arguing that both the Israeli and South African defence establishments and arms industries had much to gain from such a relationship, and enough political influence to ensure that this would indeed happen. (2) The Nuclear Alliance Explanation, arguing that it was in Israel and South Africa’s national interest to forge a nuclear consortium that would enable them to attain and further develop significant nuclear capacities, conceived by both states as the ultimate means for guaranteeing the survival of their chronically- contested regimes. (3) The Ideological Affinities / similar Regime-Type Explanation, arguing that, while Israel was unable or in any case reluctant to publicly admit it, it was not averse to the South African regime of separate development, mostly because, ever since 1967, it was on a course of constructing its own version of such a regime. (4) The Pariah States Alliance Explanation, arguing that Israel and South Africa shared the same international status of pariah states, hence having no other states they could befriend, and in any case nothing to lose from collaborating with each other. (5) The Politics of International Pariah-Making Explanation, arguing that the concept of the pariah state – which emerged in 1977 and disappeared by the end of the 1980s – was not a naïve scholarly attempt to conceptualize a new type of international actor, but rather an ideological construct, meant to re-justify the United State’s support for some of its more embarrassing client states, while restructuring the precise way in which that support was provided.

  • China in Africa
    ESID Working Paper No. 12 China in Africa: Impacts and prospects for accountable development Professor Giles Mohan1 June 2012 1 Development Policy and Practice Group, The Open University. ISBN: 978-1-908749-10-9 email: [email protected] Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre (ESID) School of Environment and Development, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK www.effective-states.org Abstract China is the major ‘new’ player in Africa and impacts on development and politics in numerous ways. The paper sets out an analytical framework which identifies the channels through which China engages with African development and the role the African state plays in mediating these interactions. We then apply this framework to three case studies that are emblematic of differing African state types. Analysis shows that China impacts on African development in multiple ways that go well beyond aid. A feature of this engagement is inter-elite brokerage which tends to bypass domestic channels of accountability and so undermines good governance. That said, in most cases it delivers much needed infrastructure which benefits wider society. Crucially, as civil and political society in Africa has started to contest this elitism we are seeing slightly more transparent attempts to negotiate the relationship. It concludes with an outline of emerging trends and future research themes for the short- to medium–term. Keywords China, Africa, governance, development, aid, state, elites, accountability. Acknowledgements The research underpinning this working paper was funded by two grants from the Economic and Social Research Council (References: RES-062-23-0487 and RES-062- 23-1893).

  • Africa's Soft Power : Philosophies, Political Values, Foreign Policies and Cultural Exports / Oluwaseun Tella
    “This seven-chapter book is a powerful testimonial to consummate African scholarship. Its analysis is rigorous, insightful, lucid and authoritative, providing fresh perspectives on selected uniquely African philosophies, and the potential­ ities, deployment and limitations of soft power in Africa’s international relations. The author rigorously Africanises the concept, broadening its analytic scope from its biased Western methodology, thus brilliantly fulfilling that great African pro­ verb made famous by the inimitable Chinua Achebe: ‘that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter’. This is truly an intellectual tour de force.” W. Alade Fawole, Professor of International Relations, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. “This book addresses an important tool in the arsenal of foreign policy from an African perspective. African states have significant soft power capacities, although soft power is not always appreciated as a lever of influence, or fully integrated into countries’ foreign policy strategies. Tella takes Nye’s original concept and Africanises it, discussing Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa via their respective philosophies of Pharaonism, Harambee, Omolúwàbí and Ubuntu. This study is a critical contribution to the literature on African foreign policies and how to use soft power to greater effect in building African agency on the global stage.” Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, Chief Executive, South African Institute of International Affairs, Johannesburg, South Africa. “Soft power is seldom associated with African states, given decades bedevilled by coup d’états, brazen dictatorships and misrule. This ground-breaking book is certainly a tour de force in conceptualising soft power in the African context.

  • China in Africa: Friend Or Foe? China’S Contemporary Political and Economic Relations with Africa
    China in Africa: Friend or Foe? China’s contemporary political and economic relations with Africa Ilana Botha Assignment presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Political Management) at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Dr. S. Cornelissen December 2006 Declaration: I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this assignment is my own original work and that I have not previously, in its entirety or in part, submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature………………………………………….. Date…………………….... Abstract Since the end of the Cold War, China has displayed a reinvigorated interest in the African continent. There are differing viewpoints as to whether China’s increasing involvement in Africa is beneficial to the African continent, or whether there are negative consequences. This assignment attempts to answer this question by exploring the nature of China’s political, economic, and aid relationships with the African continent, by highlighting examples from four countries: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Sudan. China’s interests in Africa are motivated primarily by economics and diplomacy. In other words, Africa is important to China as a vast source of resources to feed its growing manufacturing base, as well as a source of energy security. In addition, China sees Africa as an important destination for its affordable manufactured goods. China’s interests in Africa, however, are not only confined to economics, but extend to diplomacy as well. China is attempting to position itself as an important power in the international system and, in so doing, promote its own views and policies within international multilateral organisations.
