This Adelphi Paper examines the motives behind Libya's pursuit of a
nuclear weapons capability, from Gadhafi's rise to power in 1969
through to the end of 2003. It also assesses the proliferation
pathways that the regime followed during this period, including
early dependence on Soviet technology and assistance, subsequently
relying on technological infusions from the A.Q. Khan network. Wyn
Q. Bowen clearly analyzes the decision to give up the quest for
nuclear weapons, focusing on the main factors that influenced the
Gadhafi regime's calculations, including the perceived need to
re-engage, both politically and economically, with the
international community, particularly the United States. It
explores the process of dismantling the nuclear programme and the
question of whether Libya constitutes amodel for addressing the
challenges posed by other proliferators.
