Description
The Adelphi Paper: A Study of Libya's Nuclear Pursuits This report examines Libya's pursuit of nuclear weapons capability from Gadhafi's rise to power in 1969 through to the end of 2003. It assesses the proliferation pathways followed by the regime, including its early dependence on Soviet technology and assistance, as well as its later reliance on technological infusions from the A.Q. Khan network. The decision to abandon nuclear weapons is clearly analyzed, focusing on factors that influenced Gadhafi's calculations, such as the need to re-engage with the international community, particularly the United States. The report also explores the process of dismantling Libya's nuclear program and its implications for addressing challenges posed by other proliferators. This study provides valuable insights into Libya's nuclear pursuits and the complexities of nuclear non-proliferation.
