| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This paper seeks to assess whether there is a contradiction between the commitment to non-proliferation declared by Brazil;India and South Africa and their domestic nuclear choices. Despite differences in their international nuclear status;these countries share similar commitments to non-proliferation;at least discursively. However;once the domestic level-more specifically;the historical characteristics of each of these countries' nuclear paths-is taken into account;a contradiction between their international discourse and their national interests seems to arise. By analysing their nuclear history;this paper asks the following questions: how much have these countries actually been doing in terms of non-proliferation? What are the aims of these countries' domestic nuclear politics? Is there any contradiction between their international nuclear discourse and their domestic practices? |
